I'm guessing you talked to them a while ago. However, the sale isn't finalized, so we'll see if they try anything sneaky.

yes, that was a few months back, if they buy brake pads from Mercedes and strip them down, how much are they going to charge, $800 a set? nevertheless, keep us posted
I was speaking with Mike Jr. and he said that they used to require that, or they'd have to buy brake pads from Mercedes and strip them down. However, now they have their own plate, and charge a $65 per set core charge.

In the meantime... does anyone have a set of brake pads (either just rear, or all 4) that are shot and would be willing to give/sell to me?

Update (07/18/12)
Carbotech has front brake plates, but no rears. I've sourced old, stock pads from a member in the US, and they will get shipped to carbotech to be cleaned, and resurfaced with new pads. Turnaround time is 1 week, and I've been quoted less than $500 including shipping to Canada.
