Default Looking for organic brake pads

Who uses them and where did you get them?

I've checked oreillys, autozone, napa and they only carry "rear" organic pads. I checked summit and they carry front/rear EBC organic but costs close to $200 for a set. Thought that was on the high side.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why do you want "organic"? Its not like you're going to eat them. What would the advantage be?

Not sure what you exactly searching for from the pads. But. I carry EBC. I have the Ultimax 2 pads which have no metal in them at all. A full car set is about $110 (that's front and rear).

I can ship directly from EBC as well, and they are in stock. Shipping depends on where you live. But wouldn't be a whole lot, maybe $20 or less.

Looking for a organic or NAO type pad. Do you carry those on your website?

They are not on the website, no... because I don't often use them. You tell me what compound, I can get any of EBC stuff. I can get more anything you want, irrespective of brand.

I see no reason myself to run or recommend a pure "organic" pad. I don't have a detailed knowledge of them to be frank because they are pretty low end pads which fall below what we do around here. Unless it's for an old lady's car that drives 20 mph to the store and back I tend to want better than very basic pads.

Again, what are you looking for from these pads?
