Anyone got experience of Black Diamond discs and accompanying Predator pads ? Think 2tongues has them ?

I'm contemplating an upgrade for my IS200. Especially wondering how much dust the Predator pads make compared to the large amount from OEM pads.

A lot of money, but I do like them. I can't say for sure that they are better than any other make but so far I have not had a problem.

you are right i have Black Diamond all round, with the matching Predator pads.

I switched to DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) Gold discs with Mintex pads on my IS200 Sport not long after I bought it in 2002 and have no complaints at all. Very little dust, even though they're perforated.

IS 200 Sport with a few mods, Standardish IS-F. The IS250 SE-L with a few mods has gone to a new home.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Hey Stevie! I have this combo on the BEAST and have had no probs apart from fading when i've been abusing the car for long periods Wink Brake dust, isn't nowhere as bad as OEM.
