I am doing Auto Parts Business, it's very unfortunate that under PAK wheel umbrella some wrong information goin on, regarding brake Pad, all SUMITOMO or Asuki brand are Made in China, very dangerous for 4WD or Japanese imported cars or specially for Commercial and Automatic cars, due to the good profit retailer try to sale theses Chinese brand which are not reliable at all. In my knowledge best Brake Pad and the only Brake Pad from Japan is AKEBONO, even so call Genuine also Made in Thailand. Those who want a safe drive with very good price please check Akebono brake pad, for further information please google Akebono. Regards
