I too have had a remarkably similar problem with Strano's. My $45 brake pads turned up as $450 on my card. Corrected after 2-3 calls. Pads to be delivered by the Strano boy at local autocross, he forgot them, I had to pay shipping. I was quoted $30-something, paid $50+ with shipping. Strano boy autocrosses a 280ZX...automatic, what's wrong with this picture... my $.02, Dave Kase
