Ages ago I was in the auto parts business specializing in parts for imports. i carried many products from "ITM REPCO", an Aussie firm that is well known down under with a long racing history (Look up the Brabham racing and the Repco v8) Repco sold brake pads in a good/better/best product line and their BEST line was Repco Metal Master pads. I LOVED the damned things as they made very little dust and performed very well. I haven't looked to see if they still have a presence in the States. Once the US part of the company became part of ITM, the Repco name was on the way out. I don't know where they stand now as far as stateside availability but if I find them, I'll sure give 'em a shot on the V. A quick online look reveals that they no longer market the Metal Master brand, tho they do still make Repco pads
