Who cares?

If the "rebranded" pads are made per NISMO's specs, the pad recepie will be proprietary and not availlable directly from that brand...

yeah but at least we want a yardstick to measure the quality
like the nismo exhaust is fujitsobo... then we look at other fujitsobo's products and see how much it should run, what the quality of the product is... and of course how much the price hike came out to be

hate to ruin the fun but most dealers...even the high end dealers always..ALWAYS call a junkyard first to get parts. If its unavailable then they will use New parts. But its better then using an aftermarket part. Trust me I own a junkyard and have delievered thousands of parts to dealers all around the DC Metropolitian area

That may be true for cases where they're doing the work on the car. Not when somebody goes into the parts department to buy new parts.

"...i thought 1 bracket was missing from the rear pads
but i learned later that the rears only need 1 bracket..."

Then Jason tells you the parts are not used.

You might be sure your facts are straight before you sound off.
