How close are they to OEM?

I wonder if Delphi bought out Lockheed?   Mike Bauer (Mikeb) Member Username: Mikeb Post Number: 119 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 09:41 am:    After a bit of reasearch, it looks like Delphi bought AP Lockheed in January 2001. According to the article, Delphi Automotive Systems is the world's largest Automotive supplier. I used to purchase the Lockheeds from Nathan Crabtree at Discount Rovers. He does not carry them anymore. The AP Lockheed brake pads worked just fine (since they are the stock item; just without the LR box and logo). Be sure to get the shim for the brake pads to keep them from squealing. Thanks, Mike B.   KC Jacob (Kcjacob) New Member Username: Kcjacob Post Number: 16 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 11:48 am:    Thanks a bunch, guys. Appreciate it a lot.
