Default topbrakes.com?

Anyone order brake pads from them before? I was looking at their one-piece Raybestos ST-43 pads. I just sent them an email to confirm they have them in stock and wanted to know if middle padlet pins need removal. Their web picture shows a pad without holes, but it may be a generic picture.

Also would like to know if anyone has made the switch from ST-43 padlets to the one-piece pad and if there were any issues.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

My buddy buys pads and rotors for his Mustang from them. They seem to be the cheapest around when he's comparing.

I don't think there are single piece ST43s available for C6 Z06. I believe they have padlets and the pic is generic.

Have you checked Porterfield's website? For my C5Z, Porterfield's site is substantially cheaper. Like over $100 for a set of ST43s cheaper.

That was my impression as well; however, they just responded that I need to take out the middle caliper pins to install these pads, so that makes sense with a one-piece pad. I'll confirm these pads are Raybestos ST-43 compound for stock C6Z calipers.......stay tuned.

So what do you do to the holes on the calipers if you remove the pins?
