These pads are not made by Performance Machine, but by Drag Specialties. These pads were supposed to be for my rear brake, but the pads were too thick for the PM rotor on the rear. The pads may work on my front brakes due to the thinner rotors. If I would have purchased them from PM, they would have fit the first time.
