Hi Folks: Dueling vendors--ain't life great! Our friend bmwrodd noted, "Bottomline for most folks in the market for brakes comes down to 3 items. Usually in this order. 1. PRICE 2. Squeek Factor 3. Dust Factor." Sort of strange that so many care so little about superior stopping power and/or a better-than-average life expectancy. You pays your money, you takes your choice. Duel on!! Best to all, Tony
