They're either 220 or 240. Should I go with the 240?

I'm not sure what grit the discs are...it just has two large blue Xs on the back - wish I had more info for you...

Got my brake pads installed today, ceramics, but I forget the brand name...and got my calipers painted and the wheels clean! Now to get rid of the spongy pedal! Might try the gravity method tomorrow.

Why would you need new brake pads, it looks like you use the curbs to stop

For sure...though I might try to repair that one...otherwise, who would want a scraped rim?

Went to lunch with my daughter yesterday, parked in a good space.

Today I noticed a door ding from the car that decided it HAD to park next to me!

Color Tech/Paintbull Express came to my workplace and fixed it.

$50.00, but it HAD to be fixed!

BTW, they did a great job!

edit: sold some electric bass equipment today....for my obcession with the XF! (I.ve been playing for 44 yrs)
