Last week to my home arrived brand new set of BOSCH brake pads. This is only temporally solution as the idea was to fit BREMBO discs and pads. This time changing of the discs was unnecessary spender of the money. To be honest I was going to just post photos, however I will make a small write up it might be handy for somebody.
