You can also try Prime Choice - Discount Auto Parts Canadian Online Store - New Auto Parts at Factory Outlet Prices and compare. They ship internationally. Turbomar has these on his car and seems to be satisfied.

Mrm,

I don't see where the actual manufacturer is listed. I'd stay away. $60? All 4? Nah.

That price seems low to be a premium brake. I paid 280+ for Disc Italia Hyper Ceramic pads. But there is a huge difference in dust generated, also much less heat. They stop better also. Oh and Mr. Miata, you were spot on, concerning my 0505 CEL problem , a loose vacuum line, right where you said. Thanks again.

Just passing on information I had noted in other threads..

A search though 200 threads would have led him to the problem fix.

The good thing about this forum.. the collective memory.. usually will save from an hour of digging.

Just looking for decent ceramics for everyday driving - low dust - with an occasional "sport mode" thrown in for grins.. Getting close to being on the shopping list. Most likely will do rotors while I'm at it. Just gets hard to sort when you start reading about cracking cross drilled holes and slots "scrape" pads off per say .. But leaning towards a slotted anyways. Not looking to invest a ton since my driving is OEM approved.. LOL.

I used the "Red Stuff" pads in mine, they had favorable reviews on longevity, low dust, and stopping power.
( The REAL reason I chose those is the they are RED ( duh ) and I went with red caliper paint, so they blended in well.)
I didn't replace the rotors, but may in the future with slotted ones also.

I'd think they were made in China. But the fact that they are not name brand doesn't mean much anymore - so many products come from there, name brand or not.

Ahh.. a quality English box..

Where were the pads made?

Guess I should have just asked "any brand - company to steer clear of.."

The reviews in the links seem quite favorable on the Ebay ones..

But like Eurocharge Tunes.. could just be paid endorsements ..
