    Thinking about getting some Brembo blanks and EBC Yellow stuff pads? Good combo? And where is a good place to order these?

    Doing my research a lot of people are suggesting sticking with any sort of blanks. Some say OEM warp quick. I was just looking for suggestions

    Also, a dumb question, but all these places where I'm looking at the pads is pretty expensive. Are these prices for all 4 pads? Nowhere does it say a kit or pair or anything like that

    Pads are normally packaged for a axle set, and in FRONT axle or REAR axle, so usually four pads, two to a corner. And about $65 or so is typical of decent quality brake pads for light trucks. I just got four wagner rotor and OEM quality ceramic pads for a 99 Accord from Rock Auto for $150 including shipping.

    YMMV...

    Years ago, I used to work in a bus garage and we would chisel off the off brake material off the shoes and RIVET new material on.
