Default HPS brake pads for $33 worth it?

I found them for $33 and its part #HB249F.575, are they worth it? I've looked other places and they were almost $90-100.

I'm thinking either HPS, EBC Redstuff or some wagner thermoquiets. Opinions?

Called this morning. Unit price listed as $93. Not sure where OP got his info.


*Edit* on the phone now.... they were able to bring them up at that price ($33), but need to order them. They think they have been discontinued though so they are having a hard time placing an order.

Manager is calling the warehouse and local wholesaler to find a set.

Check pic for source



Ok manager said item was discontinued, but if there are any left on the shelves at your local store that would be the unit price. He said call around to all the stores in driving distance and have them do a physical stock check (disregard computer count info) if they have them they will ring up at $33. However if they need to be order the price will be $93.
