Default What to do: RR Racing sent wrong front brake pads

first off, it's not there fault per se as i just opened the box and the front pads are W1 and rear are W2. i need to change my front brakes ASAP, which is friday. should i install W1 front pads and return W2 for W1, or check with Meraki if he has project MU pads in stock. i'm in SoCal(Orange County area).

From RR racing site:Winmax W10.29-0.32Up to 842FNon steel material pad, low dust, street use only.Winmax W20.32-0.35Up to 932FCeramic based pad, low dust, high performance street use, light track.

Why do that? That would actually make sense!

I'm assuming you paid for W2's all around and got W1's? For the front? I wouldn't wait for the Project Mu if you really need to slap these on. W1 are direct competitors to the Project Mu NC400. In my case, I called RR Racing to buy W1's. After listening to Simons advice, I decided to get w2's. When the tech was installing my pads he made me aware that I had W3's in the front and W4's in the rear. No biggie, everyone makes mistakes.

yes, paid for W2 for the front, but got W1. i ordered online so i can expect a mistake, you called directly and that is unacceptable to me that you got totally wrong pads all around.

I will be installing the front brakes today.

We have 11 sets of Project Mu NS400 for the IS-F sitting on the shelf and would be happy to let a set go at the sale price and include priority shipping at no additional cost to get you taken care of. The pads would arrive in SoCal as soon as Monday if that works for you.
