quality and cheap don't always mix, but i use pads from NAPA and Advanced Auto. never had a problem with them and they are no where near the price of OEM pads. have used them on both D1's and D2's. not a squeak or issue with them ever.

"quality and cheap don't always mix"

I still like "With Garrett P. it's a guarantee!"

damn right!! "Son....you can't polish a turd!"

or in that old Breaking Away movie or whatever when the dad is a used car salesman......"Refund? Refund?"

"Push, pull or drag your old car in and we'll give you $1000 for it........guaranteed....or my name isn't Garrett P.!"

i am liking this more now!

Nope, got it. I ended up rigging a tool and applying heat for about 20 minutes. All sealed up back there, new u-joints up front, new brakes and new oil cooler pipes. Yes, I had a lot of issues.

I haven't had any issues with mine (Over 30K on them right now) I sprayed that anti squeak stuff on them when I put them on and they haven't squeaked, In the past I tried Bendix but those didn't last long.
