My front brake pads are almost due for replacement and I found these on sale on ebay for $15 plus postage.
Any good or do I avoid them like a plague?

No good can come from $15 brake pads.

Ferodo were a pretty good brand though ... I had a mate that use to swear by them for his Silvia...
Another mate tried them, and the pad was not even 6 months old, and had actually split in half... So he swore never to use them again.
I have only ever used Red Stuff, or Bendix...

LOL. Thanks for the feedback guys. That was my first impression in seeing the listing - $15 brake pads must be s#!t.
But I'm still a noob when it comes to parts for the FTO so I had to ask. Don't wanna do "trial and error" on brakes.

The last, first and only time I used Ferodo pads I experienced bad brake fade and heaps of black brake dust all over my rims.
But that was years ago on a big car, they might be better by now.
