Where to buy pads?

[Hick]

I gave my car a good once over yesterday, and found that my rear cailper/slider/something had been stuck for some time...

Need new rear pads.

Ive got Hawk HP+ on the front, think the rears are CarboTech something-or-anothers.

Where do you guys shop for brake pads? Bought these new second hand, so i have no info.

Contact Danny Puskar at CaroTech (www.CTBrakes.com) for new pads.

The most likely candidate for that would be a sticking caliper piston, which would mean that it is time from caliper rebuilds or new calipers.

Other, less often seen, causes include a bad brake line, bad bias valve, or bad ABS unit.

There are lots of places to get brake pads. I tend to favor Bimmerworld, but Tire Rack, Zechausen Racing, etc., are other sources.

My front passenger's side caliper is sticking, I thought it was the piston but upon disassembly the sliding pins appear to be the culprit, as their boots are torn and they gave me quite a hard time.

Bimmerworld's always been good to me. They have the full line of hawk pads in e30 fitments.

i know what to do to address the uneven pad wear, but that doesnt help my outer drivers side pad gain any material :)

I just bought some Hawk pads from bimmerworld. They even changed my shipping from 3 days to ground because I'm two days away via ground anyway and it saves me some money. That was surely nice of them.

thanks guys!

88 for HP+ rears, vs 140 something for Carbotech AX6

Does anyone know which of the two is more agressive?
