OEM brake pads

[booger-T-si]

how much does it cost to buy OEM brake pads?
(in american funds please.)

like 15-20 dollars for front,and the same for the rear.

Yea they arent that expensive. If you go to an autozone or something you wont get like o.e.m from mitsu, but you will get like raybestos, oem spec tho.

We are talking OEM brake pads! They are like $40. Not the cheap pep boy pads that squeak like hell. Give conicelli a call, they have the cheapest price I know for them.

The reason they squeak is because people dont know what they are buying or what they are doing. some people buy full metallic pads, and when they put them on they dont put that squeak stop stuff on the back of the pads.

OEM in my opinion is still the way to go. I will pay the extra $20 and know that I am getting quality.

You just reminded me of a line from the movie tommy boy, when chris farley is trying to convince the auto store owner to buy his pads. hehe

Yah alot of the non-oem pad companies, like Raybestos, import quiet, etc use diffrent colors of caliper spray paint on there back of the pads, quite often this paint chips and when it gets between the pad and the rotor, it makes a horrible sound, absolutely brutal. SQUEAL SQUEAL, and its very hard to get rid of unless you get new pads or rip it apart and clean it up.
