Default STILLEN / AP racing AP2800 kit for A4 and B5 Passat uses Ferodo FRP216H DS2500 pads

When you call an AP distributor for brake pads (there are only a few) and give the brake system kit part number (AP2800) sadly that just isn't enough info... a fax of a backing plate trace is required, seemingly because the AP2800 kit was assembled by stillen using AP Racing calipers. Casting numbers from the calipers... totally useless. Caliper part number... uhh... invisible. A friend of mine got reamed by stillen for $180+ shpping for a set of $112 (raceshopper.com) brake pads. I don't even have that much markup on over the counter pads at the dealership. 60% markup... over retail elsewhere. WOW now thats business!

So anyways I hope this info finds it's way to whomever has the misfortune of seeking out these pads. I'm pissed because this info is not on stillen's site. Searching stillen.com for the FRP216H number does nothing. Strike stillen from the list of vendors I'll ever buy things from.... secret info is bull**** when you are using standard parts.... its downright fvcked up when it comes to brake pads which are a safety device IMO.
