Looks like a seller located in Vancouver is listing brake pads for the Delica:

Just wondering if anyone has tried these? I was thinking about sending the seller a note asking if he also sells rotors.

Thanks Mardy,

Yes, these pads are carbon fibre and are FMSI Standard. Where they are made is irrelevant, it is the standards they are made to that is important. I'm wondering if there is a ceramic pad that meets at least FMVSS105, or even better FMVSS135 standards? What standards are the pads that you recommend and sell (and do they carry the BEEP Logo or D3EA certification stamp on the box?)?

well i used pbr from australia, reasonable price & good quality, wont fell off when it hot. also bendix or raybestos is o.k. but mostly japanese brand like sumitomo or Mk pads are good & tested.
its just cannot be so cheap on brake very dangerous.
