I am not giving away my old USA Wagner and Raybestos drums or rotors as,well pads or shoes.
The Op is not the only one reading this thread.
So you can get off your high horse. As for as the ones i mentioned goes are fine all as the Element 3.they are both good pads. Not everyone can get NOS.
And for a new car same goes.
Stay away from.the cheap Rockauto 12 buck or what ever cheapie.
But to state all new pads made elsewhere are junk is not true.
If you have NOS parts great PM and sell them.
News brake they stopped making NOS parts. Some guys have to make do with the best after market they can find.
