I went to a Kragan store that was 3 bolcks from my house and asked for front brake pads and they said 23.99 so i was a bit startled since i was expecting to pay like 100 ar atleast 50 for a set of front brakes.i have no idea how they are really supposed to look like but from what i can tell through the wheel arch the look like they will fit.any opinions?

Personally i'd take them back and get ceramic pads at least. Best idea though would be to order pads offline and get the best you can afford.

Stopping is the most important thing your car does.

I've did a bunch of looking before purchasing Akebono's.Hawks HPS, Project Mu were highly recommended for performance.Heard good things about Wagner and CMax.I would take them back and get some ceramics.

When you buy cheap you will usually end up buying twice.

was told that my wife's 05 sedan pads were not ceramic and Nissan's price was about $100 for the fronts! Coupes may be cheaper.
