hey guys, just did a search on brake pads and didnt find much info, i need a set for the front of my EG. im selling my car within the next month or two but it needs new brake pads badly. im not gonna be dodgy and just not change them. i need street only pads and dont wanna pay a fortune. i just called my local honda spare parts shop and they're all out of front brake pads, they quoted me $156 for them.

what pads do u guys think i should get and any info on whereabouts?
i need to get them within the next week.

cheers :thumbsup:

i say a big fu#k off to $165 for oem pads. go to autobarn mate and get yourself a set of bendix. good pads, especially if the cars going soon. wont be paying anything more then $60-70 for them.
good pad IMO

Agreed, just get some benix and they will do fine

just went to autobarn and supercheap auto, neither had pads for my EG.. supercheap couldnt order in the ones for my model and i didnt ask in autobarn, might re-try there later as i live just around the corner from it

i got no probs paying 60-70 :)
ive heard of bendix before aswell, might see if i can track them down, im wondering if any traders sell pads like these, only come across expensive pads more for performance which isnt what i need..

thanks Steer^Gimic
