We failed to answer the OP's original request looking for experienced opinions on these particular brake pads. I didn't find much with a Google search either.
The thread went downhill when I used the term "cheap out", but at least I conceded and acknowledged the OP's logic early on. The thread quickly turned into a discussion about personal buying preferences for brake pads, not the brake pads themselves. Poor debate ensued on both sides. The OP compared his pad purchase to buying Mobil 1 oil and Donald started out telling us his experience with Pep Boys 50 years ago.
Brake pads are required by law to meet minimum safety standards. Mail order through Rock Auto, Ebay, and Amazon DOES need to pursued carefully ( I used the fake spark plug example). Any store brand pads should work well, with the same good/bad experience that we have with ALL brand reviews. People's buying preferences will vary based on experience - I'm very frugal, but with old age my priorities and buying habits have changed immensely. In the end, the OP only has to please himself.
Good discussion. OP, please follow up with your review of the AAP pads you decided to go with.
