Is there a reason not to go back to Small Car to get the parts? I'm thinking of upgrading my front brakes and if parts are not available, why would I want to? ( I don't see brake parts on their website other than the brake kits, a parking cable, and studs.)

Trying to ding brake pads online is proving to be difficult.
