ROTEX GOLD BRAKE PADS KEVLAR FRONT & REAR CROSSFIRE : eBay Motors (item 220546998336 end time Mar-27-10 15:40:30 PDT)
Bazzer there are several reports that e-bay sellers of Rotex Gold are fake pads, they have been reported as cheap alternatives that do not reduce teh brake dust and I personally would not buy them from e-bay. I have Rotex and imported them from the dealer in the U.S. They worked out cheaper than standard pads in the UK and they even "adjusted" the value to be below import duty. I am pleased with mine, they arrived quickly and good value, would buy again from that source.

I did a lot of research and concluded that they are likely to be the best low dust pads at normal temperatures , i.e. standard road use, not competition, for standard disks. On the EBC site you can see graphs of effectiveness versus temperature for their various products, mostly work best at higher temperatures, i.e. after heavy use.
