360cs brake pads

[mpbcs]

Just found out that I've killed my pads after just 1500miles (hard track work at silverstone) and need to get them replaced... seems they are extremely expensive through Ferrari... does anyone know who makes them and/or where to get them?

I had a quote before i bought mine just incase i needed any brake work done and i dont recall the pads being expensive, perhaps £400 ish but the discs were much much more.£10K more to be exact.
What have you been quoted may i ask?

you'll have to quote vin number to buy these

was quoted 790 for fronts and 740 for rears fitted and incl vat... I recon I should be able to get them from the producer alot cheaper...

Havent had anything to do on mine but they cant be that different from anything else.

spoke to verdi just now- brembo make pads but you can only order thru ferrari . you will need vin or assembly number of your car

[mpbcs]

just got a quote from eurospares and they stock originals at 544 for fronts and 295 for rears... will prob have a go at fitting myself. TVM for the advice.

[tony h]

don't think it's as easy as that because the pads have a wear indicator hooked up to some algorithmic programme that monitors pad and disk wear. Might be a dealer job with SD2/3 ?

what tony said....

Hi Guys,

Did anybody decide if it’s a DIY job or not fitting new pads on a 360? I’ve done it before with no problems on other cars, but the mention of wear indicators etc makes me wonder.

Also…

The price of the pads look a lot cheaper than the prices quoted above?

Here

And…. Silly question (as I have not looked into it yet), but what’s with the Other callipers set on the front wheels?

the concern on CS is due to carbon discs , you won't have same issue with 360m

[z8cookie]

Thanks for that

And...

How about These

Whilst I’ve got my Scrooge head on… anybody know the best place to get tyres (P Zeros) at the moment.

Cheers,

Colin.

Managed to source the pads from eurospares saving myself circa £400 and a specialist next door to them will fit them for £60 rather than the £350 ferrari wanted.... wonder what they charge /hour for labour!! Am glad to have the beast back though as the weather is perfect for a blast and the noise seems better than ever. Fortunately most of the problems I had came down to a wheels speed sensor that was replaced under warranty.
