Hello all
can anyone give me a rough guide on how much i should be charged for the supply and fitting of a set of pads for an is200 sport/
cheers in advance

u can fit a set of pads in under an hour - for pads look on ebay for mintex pads.

Its so easy to do yourself , do it yourself , if your in a hurry get a set of pads from your local Partco ( trade supplier ) they still sell to the public , just make some b*ll***t up about you work for some garage or whatever .
Regards
Paul.

Got mine done 45 for all round mintex and 30 quid fitting, so 75 pounds, but if i knew if was soo easy to fit, them woould have done them myself. the 45 mintext pads were from my local car shop

I recently got Mintex pads all round, and lovin' it

just have the problem where when i brake no, there make a knocking sound, not sure whether this is normal due to new pads?

Sounds similar to my car at the moment although I hope the garage has fixed it. Take a look at this thread clicky

You can get some ADL BLUEPRINT pads from Allparts...they are the exact same as OEM ones...or upgrade to Mintex ones OR Greenstuff pads..ive got front Mintex pads and Discs....now that they have bed in a bit they are really good..

To be honest do them yourself...there is a walk through in the Knowledge section on LOC....just print them of and follow the guide..v easy and im no mechanic...

I have always used the Blueprint pads on my supercharged IS200 untill i sold them, they were the only ones not to continualy glaze over.. and when i went to get some for my GS the price was £22.60 +Vat for a front set.. cant argue with that.. untill they didnt have any in stock that was.. so they gave me a set of Delphi Lockheed pads for the same price.. and they are excellent..

as long as you can remove a wheel, and have access to a 14mm spanner/socket set.. you can change a set of pads.. its that simple

Yes mate its easy to do them yourself.spanners , copper slip etc and as long as you use common sense..

or you could use this excellent article written by myself several years ago

Changing Brake Pads

Yep thats the one i use ..your one matt...really good walk through. believe there is also a picture walk through someone has done on a GS...same for the IS 200..
