Grand Moff Joseph Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 So, I plan on buying raybestos brakes for my lumina (btw, thanks to all for the tip on that brand name) But, the two auto stores here do not carry this brand. Any suggestions as to where to go, both online and offline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitzel Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Got my Raybestos Quietstop pads from Auto Parts Plus. On another note, I think its fairly likely that the NAPA-branded pads are manufactured by Raybestos. Raybestos is owned by the DANA corporation, and NAPA is known to make extensive use of DANA and its subsiduaries in their product lines.

95 3-4 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Yea Napa does sell alot of Dana, their filters are Wix, gaskets are Victor Reinz gaskets, Spicer U joints and many others My favorite Dana product is the Eaton M120 atop the 32v 4.6L Ford Mustang Cobra Cant wait to buy one Raybestos Brake pads are available at Checker/Shucks/Kragen auto parts stores.

Because if so I might have to pick some up for my next brake pad job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if so I might have to pick some up for my next brake pad job. No noise with mine fitted on the fronts. My rears still make a bit of noise, but I'm not sure what pads I actually have back there. Haven't had my wheels off since I installed them, so can't say anything about the wear. No dust though, which is definitely nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carotop Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Guess what my friend everytime I wash them they get dirty again right away and its not road debris its brake crap.

Well maybe its because I don't really have rear brakes anymore. I know how you feel. Back when I had shitty brakes and be washing my car, I would shoot the hose into the wheel and black shit would pour out for about a min or two. Now there is no where near as much gunk as before.

pitzel Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Its pretty well known in here that a certain poster absolutely hates ceramic brake pads and BOSCH parts. To protect the guilty, I won't name him. Let's just say he uses a disgusting looking cartoon turd as his avatar. I can only vouch for my experience, and that is, ceramics have served me well thus far (as has my Bosch O2 sensor. ). And yes, my rotors look just fine, albeit they now have a bit of a copper sheen to them, instead of the black sheen they had with my former pads.
