You might try looking for these pads at places like Autohausaz...I've never used these specific pads personally, but I see them being sold as an alternative to OEM pads. You can do better than this eBay listing...seller listing of 98.6% is not stellar and I could not find a corresponding match for the replacement part number listed for a 986. :huh:

Yeah, Autohauz. I ordered my rear brake rotors from them, because they were the cheapest. They cancelled the order for not in stock, but they already charged my carrd. It took forever to get them reverse the charge, they were firsrt saying that it will drop off after 3-5 business days. Nice, but I do not have extra $350 to play around with. It took me several calls to get this finally resolved so I was able to order them from Sunset.

Bad taste, do NOT recommend Autohauz,

There is a lot of poor English spelling/grammar in the ad. Could these be knock-offs? So many other products are counterfeited, why not European brake pads?

Maybe your are right SPIRO, anyway, it looks difficult to install the showed pads into the announced cars.

Really? :o Did you order online by chance? The portal gives you availability if there is an out of stock item. I've never had an issue with them over the past few years. As a matter of fact, there is no where you can get the deals they offer and free shipping over $50.00. My only Porsche parts ordering goes to my local dealer or the guys at Sunset or Autohauzus. Based on my experience with online buying, Autohauz is a top tier site. If you want a great deal and excellent shipping, you should give them a try...I just got an unbelievable deal on wipers for my Cayenne and daughters BMW. Free shipping in a box that's 10"x5"x24" in unheard of. I ordered them on the 22nd and installed them yesterday. ;)

Sorry you had a bad experience there Jake...

All the best,

I also not bidding on these , also not also..... What and AD! I did however report them to eBay for excessive shipping fees, via the link at the bottom of the page. Excessive shipping is used to avoid eBay fees to the seller, but still get paid by the buyer.

Just my 2 cents, but I'd rather try EBC personnaly. Chuck
