I used a set on my car for pictures to demonstrate pad wear with our new brake guide pin bushing kit. They have been used for approximately 20 hard stops - virtually unused as far as a street pad goes. They are on the transporter, so it will be a week or so before I can send them out.

Oh I have to disagree with you about Carfax. It helps you to look at the history of a car and see if there has been some fishy stuff done to the car. Example that happened to me. I bought a 1996 M3 from a guy that had high recommendations from lots of people. One guy I know well thought the car was cherry and would have loved to have bought it. I did not run a Carfax on the car because not only of these recommendations and it was a CPO car as stuff had been repaired under CPO warranty while the guy I bought it from owned the car. But guess what, it comes time for me to sell it. I get a guy interested and he runs a CarFax on it. He found out the car had a previous salvaged title in NJ. But it had been cleaned up in PA. Guy I bought the car from is totally trustworthy and never knew anything about it. He got scammed from the guy he bought the car from. I was lucky in the guy still wanted the car but it cost me by not running a CarFax. So I highly recommend it. One other thing to consider is that CarFax only picks up on incidences reported or claimed on insurance. If I have a minor fender bender and get the car repaired without insurance being involved then Carfax will not pick it up. This is fine with me as a fender bender is not as bad as having a salvaged title or something similar. Fender benders are easily repaired where as a bent frame is a lot more of a headache to fix. That is my $.02.
