I hope you got the good German brake pads for you Syncro. Don't put anything that doesn't say "Made in Germany" in there. It's not worth it. I just pulled out a set of Bendix (sp?) that my mechanic had put in 10 months and 8000 miles ago. He swore up and down that those are the best brake pads in the world. A few weeks ago my Bus developed a squeak on the right front wheel. The squeak went away when I stepped on the brakes. It turns out that all the brake pads were cracked!

Good luck, Peter 90 Syncro Westy SF, CA

I ordered two pair not realizing that they are sold in sets:(

So in the spirit of sharing that this list excels at, I offer this small gift to someone who needs it.
