Default ProStop Brake Pads and Rotors From Raybestos??

Are these brake pads and rotors any good? Says they are made by Raybestos Corp. and says Carrus Corp. Are these good pads and rotors?? They are called ProStop. But pads are made in Canada and Rotors in Taiwan. I thought Raybestos was all USA made stuff??...tell me what you think.

Raybestos are some really good parts in my opinion, I use the raybestos rotors and ceramic pads!! The reason I like using the ceramic pads is that they last longer and they don't create black dust!!!

Yeah they sound like they would be good, I have always heard good stuff about raybestos (thats what I have on the rear axle, not sure whats up front since I haven't had to replace those yet).

But, Prostop is a knockoff brand of raybestos is exactly what the man at Pepboys said. They are not made in USA like the real raybestos brakes are, that is why NASCAR using Raybestos name that is on the box and made in USA. Prostop pads and rotors do not say Raybestos anywhere on the box or inside. So I just went to NAPA and got their USA made Brake pads and rotors, because i cannot find Raybestos pads or rotors at any stores.

I always go to checker for raybestos parts and always the boxes and parts have the name on them, but like I said its some of the best in replacement brake parts that I have used and will always use!!!

Are the NAPA brand brake pads and rotors any good? They are the Ceramix top of the line pads and the ultra premium rotors. Looking at getting all 4 corners done at one time. I cannot find any raybestos pads or rotors in any of my auto parts stores. I can find them online, but rather buy them in person so I able to return them if i dont need them. I tried NAPA, advance, pep boys, and autozone. none have raybestos, might have to look into the next best option. NAPA has some USA made Pads and rotors. But it would be like $400 for all 4 corners.
