Had new Pagid pads on the rear. Front still on second set of OEM.

The pagids have upset the balance a bit. Now the rear either bite sooner than the front, or maybe bite a bit harder, difficult to tell.

Can I adjust or reset this somehow? Or is the answer to get similar pads up front?

How much meat is left on the front pads?

I think it's 8k left on idrive, which would be about right based on how long the first set of fronts lasted

The idrive indicator means nothing, need to check them visually.

Isn't there an actual sensor before they get down to the metal?
Or is my problem possibly from fronts that are low, but not fully worn?

Yes, the indicator will sit at around 3000 miles until the sensor is actually triggered. The pad performance is pretty crap by then though, I change them at around 4-5mm

What Pagids? Increased performance or an OEM equivalent?

If they're uprated then I'd suggest getting similar for the fronts.

Thanks - they were supposed to be oem-equivalent, but I'm going to have to check with the Indy. It was on a ramp at the last tyre change and we noticed they were low, so made a quick decision to get them done. Pagid were the ones he could get quickest.

I think I'll get the fronts done with the same. Hopefully that balances things out.
