get the das 6 pro mez kit on like £140 and you wont need to spend any extra cash, with that im sure it just the machine by the time you get the rest it wont be far off the 140

Ok I ordered from cyc, and I got the DAS 6 pro, arrived promptly, however I have 5" pads, but it came with 6" backing plate, is this right? What's the issue with pad sizes correlating to backing plates?
Thanks

You will need to buy a 5" backing plate. NEVER use a larger backing plate. I think when you buy the DAS-6 you get a free generic plasticy crap backing plate.
Are you sure it's 6" ? Swear the one I got in the box was 5" when I had a DAS-6

Ye, i mailed cyc saying that I think you sent me the wrong size backing plate, just waiting in response. It's real odd though. I think Tim may of messed up my order slightly because; I ordered the DAS 6, £105 intro kit, expecting to receive 3 pads, and 2 merzerna bottles. However I received the DAS 6 pro, with 6 pads (2 of each) same quantity of bottles, and a 6 inch backing plate.
It's all very strange.
