    Yes they are. My mechanic gave me a brochure on them the other day. Looks like they will be my next pad.

    Even if HSY Australia are wholesale only, a call to them would reveal who the retailers are.

    My understanding is they don't have generic retailers. Rather they sell to individual mechanics etc. but I'll send them an email anyway. I've also texted my mechanic to see if he can get them in.

    Will make a solid difference to stopping performance. Probably cheaper than a set of factory front discs too!

    i don't know what the current condition is of the brake lines. will be asking the mechanic to advise while i have my 75k service done next monday.
    i've got this feeling that he is going to say the pads n discs have plenty of life left in them - which they do look that way.
    hence i'll wait till monday, before i "checkout" with this kit from brakesdirect.

    That's always the hope, but at least you have a good priced backup if they need replacing. Nothing beats getting an upgrade for the price of std consumable parts

    Unless something has been damaged, I can't see brakelines / hoses being an issue on our vehicles. They are (almost) a lifetime part - easily lasting 15-20 years for normal driving purposes.

    Nice find Warwick. But I couldn't find any info on pricing on their site? Did you get a quote from them? Do sell just the pads or will they only sell supply and install?

    Thanks.
