The new TRd brake pads are out and will be in stock here next week. They retail for $45.00 and we are selling them for $37.95. And yes, they are better than stock pads.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Who makes them? Are they Performance Friction or somebody else?

How did you know I was looking for new pads in another window?

Ken is smart.

 

[TRDsparks2]

They are not from Performance Friction for sure, but I don't know the manufacturer. A little short on info today, sorry about that.

how aabout material? metallic? semi-metallic? iis that price for all 8 pads or just the front wheels?

EDIT just checked the site and saw they are for the front.....figured that would have been too good to be true

Sparks site says "TRD HP Carbon Metallic" with a little tm for trademark. Performance Friction's site says "Carbon Metallic" and has the little r for registered trade mark. Sounds like TRD is using PF again, or somebody is in trouble for misusing a trademark.

Is this good or bad? I've never heard of Performance Friction, but I've never looked at brake pads much before now.

I had TRD/PF on my Supra. They were the worst pads I have ever used on a street car. The first stop of the day was always a crap shoot to see if they'd actually stop you in time.

I've been told their full race stuff is excellent, but their street stuff isn't even in the same ballpark.

 

[Zygote55]

That's bad news...

 

[TRDsparks2]

As I said in the beginning, these are not PF's, so we might be spending valuable time talking about a non event. I'll try to find out who makes them the first part of next week.

Why dont they have any for the rear tires?

 

[TRDsparks2]

Give them time, they'll come around.

Okay, for anyone who cares, the pads are made for TRD by a company named Centric ( I hope I spelled that right). They will be here in a couple of days and the price will be the same for a couple of weeks and eventually will go up a dollar to $38.95.

Thanks Ken! As always, you rock!!

There's gotta be Hawk Streets out for the tC...has anyone tried these?

 

[TRDsparks2]

The brakes are in stock and we'll hold the $37.95 through March. The TRD's are cheaper than stock, go figure.
