I have to work now to probably support half of all you that are probably on welfare so I probably paid for your parts to bc gin with plus mine.

So now we are all on welfare huh? Sorry to burst your bubble but I have never been on welfare nor have I ever collected an unemployment check my entire life! I have however been working since I was 12 years old and have paid for everything I have ever owned my entire life including my first vehicle and everyone since then.

Hate to tell you I make almost 6 figures a year but that doesn't mean I don't like to get the best deal possible on every purchase I make. That also doesn't mean that I will buy a product that may put me or anyone else in any sort of danger just to save a buck! I have said it before in this thread and will say it again they may be great pads and chances are you will never have an issue with them but why risk it if you don't have to? You continue to say how semi metalic is semi metalic but which is true but what you are not understanding is the difference in the quality of which things are made! Lets face it china is known for making cheap mass produced crap that falls apart frequntly correct?

Yes correct, There also one of the most outsourced countries used and make great parts as long as they are supervised and made to the correct tolerance the company has provided. On there own they make crap. But they can make good parts as long as they have guidelines and tolerances to go by. Honda uses them and so do a lot of other very well known manufacturers. You think Honda would risk there reputation by outsourcing parts to china if they thought for a second the parts would be of low quality or inferior. All depends how they are made that is true. Lets face it. The truth is the truth. China can make good parts and the reason they can be the same exact part but a lot cheaper is because of there cheap labor and there cheap energy and low cost to produce materials. Like I said I don't feel guilty buying anything from China. I am the consumer not the multi billion dollar company outsourcing to them. That will happen reguardless. Why do you think they outsource to other countries? To save a buck. Bucks add up.

Thank you for saying it better than I ever could have!! This has been my exact point the entire thread! If they are supervised! But when the seller doesn't even know who makes what they are selling how are you as the consumer suppose to know if they are adhering to the proper guidelines and tolerances?? You don't even have the ability to google them cause you have no clue who produced them!

Can we just agree that I'm right and be friends now

They could of been made under supervision though and made to the correct tolerance and just sold under a no name manufacturer, but then again they could be junk I agree, either way I bought those pads and I will try them since I already paid for the dam things. We will all find out together shortly. We can be friends if you want but I am not going to tell you your right.
