Talking about brake companies, I recently bought a set of brake pads online from RDA. I couldn't believe how bad they were. The metal locator tabs that fit into the center of the caliper pistons didn't fit at all. When I tried to install the pads, the three metal clips would get damaged and start to break. In the end, the only way to fit them was to use pliers to bend the three metal locator tabs. I'm not sure if the pads were seconds from a questionable seller, or if they are all this bad.
"The metal clips are made from really poor-quality material and are nowhere near the size needed to fit the caliper piston properly."
I do buy some new parts these days that are listed for what I want but they don't fit without modifications but the sellers don't tell you that.
I'd never seen such low quality pads ,I now see what's happening ,the pads were for an old car so now the higher quality suppliers don't
make the brake pads anymore.
Cheers
Max.
