In an effort to increase braking heat radiation, the ST-1300 brake pads are now made of solid gold.

As can easily be seen from the picture, the brake pad backing plates are certainly golden. They must be or how else could a set of pads cost $841?
Get your replacement pads quickly! The prices of gold recently topped $1600/ounce.

The pads are only $41.78. The $800 is from the new California Internet Tax that was recently imposed! Sheesh, how else is California going to have the :money1: to pay their bills? :spank1:

But wait! He's selling you not one! Not two! But THREE sets of pads for the price of one!


3 Sets of Brand New High Quality Brake Pads.
Enough to replace FRONT AND REAR calipers.


But I'm confused... Aren't the front and rear pads different? ;)

OEMs are different front and rear. Rear had a thicker pad.
EBC are all the same for 03 thru 07.

2008 iirc is the year the fronts changed with the new smc.
New EBC part number. And I think the same old part number for the rear.

OK, I didn't realize that about EBC. Galfer and OEM Honda are different P/Ns for front and rear. Directlineparts_ST1300_Brakes

Notice from seller.... re pads

Dear x

Thanks for your message. Sorry for the confusion. The item is out of stock
right now. We just raised the price to block our customers and keep the
listing active till we are in stock. The price will be down once it's in
stock. It will take 3 weeks for it in stock again. Thank you!
