I don't suppose new brake pads have a shelf life do they?

No Simon, they will be perfect, in fact better than anything you can currently buy off the shelf I'd say

Yes, I'll use them Brian - no point in leaving them sitting there doing nothing. Actually, I spotted them just as I was about to buy these TRW pads, which I thought would go nicely with the TRW discs.

I got some caliper refurb kits from Brakes International. I'll post some pics of those later.

I've got new hoses as well but I think the pipe unions are going to cause a heap of trouble. Pics to follow.

That's odd. Does your box label say DF4203? The product details here says they're black but the photo shows unpainted.

Then on this site the small photo shows unpainted (same pic as above) but the large photo shows they're black (but then the box label in the large pic is DF4848 and not DF4203 ).

DF-4203 on the label

I didn't think TRW sold direct to the public. There's a 'buy' button here but it just goes to this 'where to buy' page - https://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/wh...oductId=DF4203.

I can't see where to go after that.

I must've been mistaken then Simon probably got them from your link previously posted.

These are the front caliper kits (I did buy two of each ).
