Terry,
Good news- I went to ACT brakes today and compared 200B and Commodore pads. They are nearly the same. to get them to fit you may have to grind a piece out of the bottom. They are also 1.5mm thicker. The EBC greens are $164 and Ultimates are $150. The EBC are supposed to better. R31(commodore) rear pads are EBC-$140 and Ultimates-$115.
All prices are before trade or club discount.
Bad news- QFM would have to make up the pads and this could take up to 8 weeks as they are quite busy at the moment. 200B front pads are about $115.
Damien.

It reminded me of how much I detest them. The pedal feels like shit compared to B-brakes, and the extra weight is noticeable (but not excessively). The K-brakes had Ultimates and still did not feel better than the B-brakes.</P> <P>How much extra do the Cruiser/Hilux weigh over B-brakes? Do you think that is worth the extra weight?</P> <P>Have you ever heard of a QLD company called QFM (Queensland Friction Material)?
