I'll be the newbie dick for a minute. They are only rear pads. Your main braking comes from your fronts, if these were fronts I would be a little more concerned but rears you can technically live without having a decent pad.

Would I buy them? Probably not but that is your deal.

Disconnect your rear brakes and tell us how your car drives.

Driven cars with no rear brakes before. Driven cars with **** rear brakes before.

There is also a difference between no rear brakes and **** pads rear brakes.

wow, Jorgen - rear brakes, even though they do not give the majority of braking power, do attribute to braking control.

I don't care if you have driven cars with no brakes... You lose your rear brakes and you have serious problems - it does not matter about the % of front to rear braking ratio. If a cars rear brakes fail, you WILL notice, and it WILL account for loss of control in the event of an emergency reaction.

Yep!

No, I'm actually a nice guy. It's hard to do sarcasm on a forum.
