    I dont know abnout you, but brakes are pretty important to me, so I tend not to buy cheap crap or stuff im even slightly unsure about.
    26 bux by the time you get them to your door, and a set of Bendix General CT's are only 40 bux a set, so thats 14 bux, for something that will most definitly out last and out perform those cheap ones, not to mention you have the reassurance they arnt some chinese crap.

    [EDIT] Didnt see they were rears.... Bendix General CT's for the rear are only 35 bux, well they were last time I got a set.

    yer pritty much as Tom said, brakes are important

    i just spent $280 on pads today for the Vl and that was discounted
    Bendex ultimate for Vt front $165
    Bendex ultimate for Vl rear $115

    my thought is it better to overstop then overshoot the mark

    Yeah, for something like brakes it's not worth the gamble. They might be fine, but you can get reasonably priced pads that are a reputable brand. Also, if something should go wrong with them, you've got a much better chance of recourse from a bricks and mortar supplier than from eBay sellers..
