How good is overnight express?!

Rupewrecht · 05-09-2006, 04:42 PM

Useless to me - they're just going in the (getting larger) pile of other bits and pieces for the car LOL

Is it too late to get in on this? I'd be after Lucas front/back on an 03 SP20 Astina.

Front: DB1362
Rear: DB1359

I think??

edit - are you able to get the DB1196 rear pads? My brother has a Swift GTI may also be interested.

Astro Boy · 06-09-2006, 06:27 PM

Na, i can still get em. Basically, i've bought such a quantity now (like over $1200 worth!!!), that they're happy to extend the offer, and they're also gonna see if i can become a re-cognised re-seller... Usually, you'd need to meet requirements such as actually having a store, and minimum quantities, but in this day and age with the net, they're going to see if a 'virtual online store' counts!

Stay tuned, Lucas and protex pads at trade prices might be an ongoing thing!!!

Laser the Amazer · 09-09-2006, 02:08 PM

i changed my pads for ferodo excel and when i took the old ones off they are Lucas. these r the fronts, they still have 80% or more left on them if any 1 wants some hardtop V6 front lucas pads. i think the excels are better :P personally. and very little brake dust 2.

Mckensy · 30-09-2006, 04:04 AM

Hey Astro Boy could I get a pair of protex front pads for a 95 BA V6 Hardtop? or am I too late for this group buy? I live in Adelaide? Thanks

skitz · 30-09-2006, 10:01 AM

Hey bud, do you know what pad it is?

It'll either be DB1177:
http://catalogue.bendix.com.au/image...nner_Outer.gif
or DB1287:
http://catalogue.bendix.com.au/images/DB1287.gif

Its more likely to be the first, earlier in the thread someone had a photo of it too if that helps...

BTW, after what was a couple of pretty huge group buys, i've now got access all the time to lucas pads at wholesale prices through an account, so whenever you need pads either lucas or protex, let me know...

skitz · 09-11-2006, 11:28 PM

sorry to bring this thread back to life i just wanted to here what ppl though of the pads?? like how do they go compared to the standard? .....
will/do they have a heavier wear on the rotor?...

let us know bad or good
