Re: Brake Pads: Which replacement pads most like OEM?
If you are paying $300.00 per set of stock pads you are getting ripped off. They should not be over $150.00. I have replaced mine three times and never paid $300.00 even for C.C. pads from Bobby Archer at Viper days. I have run both and the stock pads last much longer than the C.C. pads. The C.C. pads did not seem to stop the car any better and were used up after 1,500 miles. The first set on the car lasted 4,000 miles, then the C.C. pads 5,500 miles and now ready for a new set before the season starts 8,500 miles. Call Jon B. at Parts Rack his prices are 5-10% below dealer retail ( I think)but I know they are no where near $300.00. I bought some from him last year when the dealers couldn't get them so he charged 5% less than dealer on that sale verses the 10%. Call him he will do you right, but don't pay $300.00 unless that is for all four corners.
