Just a friendly warning Thing twice about buying braking parts from Rally Design.
I bough a set of pads from them and they have bearly coverd 2K when one of the pads delaminated, very dangerous and when contacted they just didn't want to know. I've yet to remove the pads (car is not in use ATM) but I cannot see a CE stamp on the pads so I don't even know if they were ever certified (Rally Design now tell me they no longer supply that pad anymore, I wounder why)

WATCH THIS

EDIT: I have since removed the pads.

Shitty Rally Design Maxtorq BlackMax pads
Still loads of wear left in them too.
Notice NO CE R90 stamp on them!!!!!!!!!

What is ECE-R90
ECE-R90 is a European quality standard that requires all replacement Brake Pads to perform within certain parameters to Original Equipment specification.

they do sell somd shoddy shite sometimes, ive sent a few thinks back, then usually rip you of postage and i was knocked for alot of money when the VAT changed as i paid it at 15% then they refunded less 20%!!!!!!!!!!

I did get shafted on the postage!!!!!!
I live in France and rang up to order the pads and they couldn't tell me the postage until they were dispatched and when I get the bill it was £101 for one set of pads+postage.
Thay chargerd summut like £60 to send a set of pads to France, £12 is the "real" cost.

it doesn't neccesarily mean just "cr@p" pads do this, I have had the same thing on Mintex for example, and have seen it on other "branded" pads..
