Brake pads

[wickedblkgt]

Why are some brands like Hawk $150+ for ceramic, and AutoZone $50? Is it worth paying extra? BTW this will be going on some 03 Cobra brakes.

Are you going to be road racing? That's the only reason I would spend 150 on pads. Put some Wagner thermo quiets on it and call it a day

Another vote for Wagners. Aside from some problems about 5 years ago when they changed their manufacturing process and tried to avoid telling anyone, they've always been a great brand. I've used them on countless cars and sold them to countless customers, and they work great.

Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Chris Farley was a funny dude,

Thermo Quiets are good stuff.

Some3 of the pad mfg.s cast their own material. IIRC Hawk does and a few others.
Otherwise Distex (not sure of the spelling) makes most everyone's pads and shoes.
Mets, ceramic non orgo were done in L.A. while the asbestos stuff up in Canada.
At least a way back when..........
