Rockauto, in fact, does list ATE pads. However, I find their "catalog" most user unfriendly and confusing. If the one's I saw are the ones that would go to my car then they were priced close to the DW price for blue box pads.....850 Turbo1 wrote:Actually what I did ...sorry I forgot...I purchase 'Volvo' pads and ATE rotors....lol...hmm I would have thought the same...

I think spirited is one thing...but HARD is another....I'm gentle but spirited...I don't do 0-60 in 6 seconds...but I do occasionally do 60-100...quite quickly..but I try limiting the use of my brakes....because I believe it's terrible driving soo fast and accelerating soo hard..only to slam on the brakes 50 feet later.
