I've had some Octi-pads however I've found they dont really last that long.

Any quality recommendations?

BTW - compare with their Ebay prices. Sometimes they sell cheaper on Ebay.

Genuine fibrax pads way cheaper than any shop is selling them at. Customer service and delivery times are great.

I've ordered the sintered SS pads- last time was the ceramics. Why? The Disco's look exactly like SS's- same factory?

Why SS? He tickles me on how he winds up certain STW'ers ๐Ÿ˜€
