If I were to go this route in the future, does anyone know what options there are for replacement brake pads? What size/type pads do they use? Can I say call up Cobalt Friction and say I need XR5's with this type backing plate like I can with with Stoptech (ST40).

Thanks.

 

I know most JDM pads manufacturer does make pads for the calipers but not sure about USDM or EDM Manufacturers. I think your best bet is to take off one of the pad the draw it and fax it to them and I am sure they will figure that out.

If you need pads right away, I can supply you Seido-Ya or you can try Endless USA.

 

Good to know. Thanks.

BTW, define minimal wait.

 

porterfield can make you a pad if you fax them an outline. it'd probably be a lot cheaper since the replacement pads from j's are like mid $400's.
