I hope you got the good German brake pads for you Syncro.  Don't put
anything that doesn't say "Made in Germany" in there.  It's not worth it.  I
just pulled out a set of Bendix (sp?) that my mechanic had put in 10 months
and 8000 miles ago.  He swore up and down that those are the best brake pads
in the world.
A few weeks ago my Bus developed a squeak on the right front wheel.  The
squeak went away when I stepped on the brakes.  It turns out that all the
brake pads were cracked!

Good luck,

Subject: Who needs front brake pads for a Syncro?

I ordered two pair not realizing that they are sold in sets:(

So in the spirit of sharing that this list excels at, I offer this
small gift to someone who needs it.
