Just like the title says. Can anyone recommend an online vendor that sells brake pads and knows there goods?

Looking to replace pads for a custom caliper setup.

Thanks.

Jeff is a good guy. I talked with him today and e-mailed him specs on my calipers.

He didn't have any pads to fit my calipers with any alternative pads.
I'm glad I called him though, he checked and took time to look for my stuff even though he didnt have any.

I'll keep him in mind for pads on my other calipers.

But keep on posting.

I need a dealer who carries custom pads lol.
