track pads for the 200

[Bernie Benz]

Brett,

>From a street perspective, I'm currently running Textar 21219s, which are
reboxed Jurid 526 FEs at about half the price of Stealer's 526 FEs (Audi
#441 698 151D).  Jurid also has an aftermarket pad, Jarid 571562J.

No BTDT, but try Autozone MKD 467s and report back, probably also a
Jurid/Bendix product.
