Hey guys,
Just wondering where people buy brake pads these days? Anywhere in NZ or do we just have to look to the states?
After something good for a few track days without breaking the bank! Few places I've asked are quoting just under $300 for Ferrodo and Mintex.
Thought I would ask you guys before purchasing from overseas!

Stop tech street pads from Rock Auto in the states. I tired them as someone on here recommended them and they're awesome. $140ish landed

EBC pads are good. I use Yellowstuff on the race car, but you could probably get away with Bluestuff for track days. Not quite as cheap as Stop tech at around $165 (for Yellowstuff), but a proven product.

I just used a harder compound pad from BNT.
From memory $40 a set. Mind you...I'm not that hard on brakes...

^Would be C-Plus pads then, they are made by bendix.
They are cheap but still quite decent for stock power.
Can get part numbers tomorrow from work
Really depends how hard you are pushing it

Thanks guys. Pulled the trigger on some hawk street/race pads. Amazon had a special which worked out to $100nzd. Hopefully all good!
