Price isn't bad...NAPA's website says $85 and it's confusing whether it's for a set of 2 or four...the link is for front wheel but further in the product description they say a set consists of four pads...but four pads for $85 seems a little too good to be true!

Brake Pad Price
Start shopping on Ebay Guys !
I just bought a Rear Set of Ceramic Hawks for 45.00 Shipped to my door. They came from an Auto Supply House in CA. If you know what you want and the price you are willing to pay then shop on Ebay. You can save big bucks if you can waite a day or two

I take it you've never worked in auto parts.
I have had people come in for pads, where the car has ceramics from the factory, and leave with the cheapest semi metallic pads they could get.
Try arguing with someone over speed and load ratings for tires... think of a guy with Z rated tires on his Vette looking for 60 dollar specials.

I know plenty of people who'll buy the cheapest items no matter what, without realizing the potential impact the cheapies may have compared to a set of pads that are $20 more for the set, or tires that are $20 more per tire. And of course, sometimes the cheaper option is better, but it all depends on the manufacturer and quality of the part. It's just funny when these people complain cause their new tires don't perform as well as the replaced tires that were more expensive, or complain about the stopping power of the new cheap pads. Basically a "you get what you pay for" type of deal.
