I think the value pads are the regular OEM's minus all the springs, clips, backing plates, etc.
DO NOT BUY THESE!
The compound is not the same and they have no inital bite like the regular OEM pads. They might work ok on the street, but I had a set on the old NA for a couple of weeks and they were horrible.
Dammit are ya sure??Quote:

I have the same question.
So I emailed Tommy at Trussville Mazda (finishlineperformance):
"I saw two choices on website:
Brake Pad Set - Front, SKU: NAY5-33-23ZC
Brake Pad Set Mazda Value Line Front 94-05 NS, SKU: NAY5-33-28ZA-MV
Beside the included hardwares, do Value Line pads use the same organic material as the normal OEM?"
His answer: "Yes"

I ended up just going TCB, whatever I was going to get was going to be better than what I had!
I'll report my finding when the value pads show up.
Are these the same? I just recently ordered some shift boots/etc from Tommy at finishlineperformance. They're located in Arlington, Virginia. When I go to the Trussville website, they're located in Birmingham, Alabama. I wouldn't think so but I keep seeing the two names associated together.Quote:
