Bendix Metal Kings or Bendix Advance are good. Metal kings are better though.

I payed about $50 from bnt for the fronts, they have lasted ages and still have ages to go on them.

But the 1166's which Harlet has are F***ing expensive but stop you extremely well. Although they arent the longest lasting pad ever.

Shit i had some good ones in my old trueno, they lasted well with quite a lot of track work and i know this doesn't help but i can't remember what they were, didn't have to send old pad backing away to get them either, didn't cost to much bout $50 a pair, and they stopped real well. Throw some names at me and i'l tell you if it's right or not - only problem is they didn't work to well when they were cold

Metal King? :P

I gone thru 2 set of Metal Kings on the TE71 in like.. 4 years... best cheapest pads. The disks is another story.... :roll: . Worst pad are some random brand made in Taiwan pads which last me 1 Manfeild open day. Wheels became grey colour by end of the day.. and I have to change the pads before driving home from Manfield to Palmy...
