Availability and price are another thing though, they better last!!!!

Totally agree there, I’m pretty happy with the Yellowstuff. I run Brembo pads in my Audi, they’re good also, but that’s a completely different show compared to the Disco.

Availability and pricing, yep! I ordered the Yellowstuff from the UK I think it was. I’d rather go to the effort, pay a bit more and have pads which are good though.

Tried to find where in the UK I got mine from just now. Do remember it was easier to get either the front or back ones and had to search for the other with a fair bit of price variation. Certainly they were more than double the price of most pads at around $140 -$160 per set delivered and searching for prices the P38 marked sets seemed cheaper than the same pad for the D2. Having learnt and used the drive through braking technique now down some long step slopes, money well spent I feel. At a minimum would use them on the front at least!

I got my EBC Yellows from Paddock Spares in the UK. Prices will be plus postage etc. From what I recall they were pretty easy to deal with.

Fronts $138AU

Rears $100AU

I have been running ECB pads for many years on the D1 and D2 with Bendex and been very happy with combo. Having said that I have some custom pads from a mob down the Gold Coast and I will put that on at some point.

On my Triton I used DBA42234S DBA 4000 Series Survival T3 Slotted and DB1916AXP - DBA Extreme Performance. They have been excellent. Massive stopping power on the big rotors (the model I have has larger rotors compared to previous and lower spec versions and well worth it). Cheers

So fess up. When did any posters last do a fluid flush and bleed?

Just whenever it is scheduled at service. I don’t do it with brake pad changes.

With rotor and pad changes in Jan, also did the longer brake lines so there wasn't much choice!
