    need brake pads fast.

    okay, in a bind.
    strapped for cash because of the holidays, but definitely need some brake pads for the rear, IMMEDIATELY.

    Don't want to buy from the dealer....
    Don't have time to order online...(yes, they're that bad...)
    Would prefer to buy from local parts supplier (ex. Kragen, Napa, etc.)

    Any inexpensive, but safe solutions? Performance is not a factor right now.
    I can always replace after the holidays if they feel crappy.
    Thanks for your help.

    I love my PBR Ceramics. They were one of the cheapest options for front brakes when I was looking.

    Just call your local stores and see if they can get you a price on those.

    Re: need brake pads fast.

    aren't worth the price.
    too soft, dusty and expensive.
    good looking out though...and thanks for the reply.

    Well they've been alright for me so far. At least on par with OEM.

    they are the chepeast pads you will find anywhere, since they are used on all kinds of VW's and audi's for the last 15 years, go to napa they probably have a $10 set in stock.
