    which 350x brake pads??

    I do not yet have a manual for my 350x. It needs brakes. Dennis Kirk offers a wide variety ...some with this warning: Never use sintered metal or off-road racing sintered metal (RSI) pads in calipers originally equipped with non-sintered brake pads.

    If someone has a manual could you please look to see which brake pads are correct.

    Thanks!!!!

    I agree with both posts. The only aftermarket pad I have ever found that holds up as well as OEM is EBC. Ive tried many.

    The original OEM pads are discontinued but were replaced by an upgraded OEM part and new part number, which are still being made and widely available. Apparnetly your parts guy did not look up, or did not know how to look up the replacment part.

    I guess not, I asked for OEM 250R brake pads for the rear caliper and he said they were discontinued, so I ended up ordering a pair of Galfers from Rocky Mountain.
