You have pads in the callipers.
If you want to buys others please buy good ones to compliment your expensive purchase.
If you buy Ferodo DS2500 pads and OEM Brembo discs you will not be dissapointed

BTW what wheels do you have?
These are bulky callipers and will only fit behind certain wheels.
Theres a stick in Bill section about what wheels fit LCR Brembo's, check it out to see if you need to buy new wheels aswell

there's some 2-piece bad boys in the for sale section - I have these and they are simply awesome!

Whats the difference between 2 piece and 1 piece?
Forget that just had a look at them and know now, Im after the calipers though.

2-piece are generally lighter and cool much more efficiently - therefore less fade due to heat and a better initial bite. The ones in question are also 330mm instead of 323mm

You don't need the wear sensors if you keep an eye on the inner pad thickness.
2 piece discs are the way forward, a bit more expensive to buy initially but after that there about the same to replace as OEM discs with better cooling, zero fade and lighter so better unsprung weight

If i dont use the wear sensors a brake light warning light wil illuminate on my dash board.
