I NEED YOUR OPINION! Brake Pad Issue!

Ok so very straight forward, after I did my research I decided to buy StopTech Street Performance front Brake Pads for my brembo setup (G35 Coupe 2004). I ordered them trough ebay Ebay Item What I received yesterday was a box with AXXIS ULT Ceramic Brake Pads. I contact the Seller this is what he explain to me:

Dear buyer,

Thank you for sending us the picture.

Yes, what you
got is an Axxis Ceramic Pads but it's correct.

Centric bought Stoptech
about 2 years ago. So, Stoptech = Centric, Centric =
Stoptech.

At the
time Centric bought Stoptech, none of them had Ceramic brake pads

line.

So, for any Ceramic applications, Centric/Stoptech used Axxis
pads as their
replacement.

If you have any questions or doubts, please
feel free to contact Centric for
fact verifications.

Thank
you!

--------------
I'm not quite sure if this is true or not so thats why I'm asking you guys for your opinion. Cause I'm wondering why if this is true then dont promote that item as AXXIS ULT Brake Pads and also place a picture of the actual Product that you're going to received!!!

Sounds like you were mis-informed but the Axxis Ceramics are good pads. I have them on my WRX. Low dust, no noise and better than OEM stopping power.

Best to call Stop Tech to confirm.

Those pads kick *** but they are definitely not the ones you were suppose to receive.

I would do two things, first send an email to stoptech techs department directly. They will confirm or dispell the ebay seller's claims. After that, if you are not satisfied with the misinformation of the sale, it is within your buyers right to return and get a refund or get exactly what you ordered.

I suggest a return/refund and get them from someone more reputable. At the same time, I have heard people touting the performance of the Axxis ULT pads.

The seller even told you to call Centric for verification. How hard is that to do? Seriously dude.
