    ATE Ceramic.
    You'll need to replace your rotors in all likelihood also, go with ATE solid rotors.

    HSY are the importer but they won't sell direct to plebs. Suggest you ring them and ask who can get them locally to you.

    You'll need disc rotors as well. you won't have enough meat on the OEM rotors to machine them properly

    Also, have you had a look at the pads yourself? Sometimes the mechs take quite a conservative approach. They probably don't realise that you have got 150k out of them (that you aren't a heavy user of brakes)

    If i need to change rotors then i will go wit kamold's advice - ate brakes and rotors. Only need to find supplier since hsy not cover individuals but bussiness.
