A couple of years ago, I tried to find a supplier of the Rotex Gold and had no luck; I ended up getting them from the U.S. on a vacation trip.

I personally would not try anything else because my satisfaction is 100% with those pads.

Anyone interested in ordering them and sending them to a U.S. address, let me know by PM; I would be willing to bring them back to Canada with me on May 1st.

I suggest you talk to this guy who is selling them on eBay - if he can supply them to me in Australia then I don't think shipping them to Canada will be a problem
If he doesn't have the ones you need then just send him a message as I believe he can source them easily enough
Make sure you order the right ones for your Crossfire - there are different models for N/A versus the SRT
Ironically I believe the Rotex Golds are manufactured in Canada

I just received front & rear pads from this e-bay seller for $100. Can't beat the deal, and the shipping was 3 days.

If there's enough interest he'll be at the Spring Dragon since he lives in NC.

Hi................what is the Rotex Gold site selling the set for?

I would recommend buying direct from Rotex Gold (Brake World) than from e-bay.

Why? - if it's the "counterfeit" argument then you could be caught with that issue buying from anywhere actually. IMHO the feedback reputation and others experience in dealing with the seller is a good indicator of his credibility.

He's selling the front and rears for a NA for US$120 (listed) and has accepted $100 offers

and he ships internationally - the pads were well packaged for international shipment in my experience

Ya, appears to be a savings over the Brake World price but I base my opinion on personal experience with Brake World. The Brake World shipping appears to be about $20.
i would hate to have some guy on E-Bay send me the wrong product.

No worries - it's nice to have a choice - and achieve "dust free" wheels
In my case I needed to find someone who could ship to Australia as the Rotex's aren't available here.
I got my Rotex pads installed this week and so far so good - pedal feels fine, no squeal and good stopping. So once they're bedded in I'll give them a "stress" test

No problem but hope you don't have to pay GST, Duty, Broker Fee, etc. to get them across the border.

We carry Rotex pads.

We've shipped tons of sets worldwide. Just shoot me a PM and I'll get a price quote.

Funny they are "Made in Canada"

Centric manufactures these - C-Tek, Rotex, Posi-Quiets, StopTech ,Jurid, Tectar, Pagid and several others as well as a lot of OEM pads.

I have them on the SRT6 & SRT8 and they are great. I use the Posi-Quiet variety and would not go back.

+1 on that one

so how does that impact your earlier post about sourcing and shipping the Rotex Gold's? - given your endoresement of Dave it seems it would make sense to buy from him?

If "Made in Canada" was stamped on the box you can be sure we made the box or the stamp or maybe just the ink for the stamp. Then again, maybe none of the above.

I cannot find anyone who sells them in Canada on line or evens advertises them, there must be someone somewhere. I'll just have to go store to store.

Box on its way, if the contents are made in Canada I hope I dont get stuck with "DUTY" ,
Thanks for the reply TVT, I would have used a sponsor if I knew what you supplied, I didnt think you supplied pads just intakes and the like , will check out your web site,
Another Dave

We buy in bulk, from Dave actually, and can offer lower pricing. I didn't want the fact that he sells on ebay to be discredited, so that's why I posted that.

Thanks - seems we're both happy customers of Dave's

I was just happy to find someone who was prepared to ship the Rotex Gold's to Australia and not charge a ridiculous amount for postage and packaging

Looking for Rotex Gold pads I came upon this article in a forum.
C-Tek vs Rotex Gold - brake pad performance comparison - Chrysler 300C Forum: 300C & SRT8 Forums
A previous post by 70GT6 said that these pads were made in Canada and the photo in the attachment shows "Made in Canada" on the box. This article states that C-Tec pads and Rotex Gold are the same, just differently branded. Centric appears to be the manufacturer of these pads.
