Default Where to find pads?Urgent help needed

I have bought Alcon BBK ( front, 343mm disc ) from Litchfield for my 08 STI.After not more then 1500miles something went wrong with brake pads and i had to buy new set of pads.The problem is that i cant find new brake pads that can fit Alcon caliper that came with the kit anywhere! Litchfield is not answering my mails at all!! I tried contacting Alcon but they are not answering either. Same thing happend with some of Alcon official distributors in EU. I am looking for new pads for more then 5 months and i really dont know what to do anymore.I have almost new BBK sitting in my garage for 5 mothns now Can anyone help me with this plz? I am from Serbia BTW

Hi
Most of the 343mm Alcon 6 pot kits use the same pads , before we would supply them we would ask you to email us a photo of the ones you need to make sure that what we supply is correct.
The Bluestuff pads are a very good alround performance pad , they work very well from cold , and will also be very good on the track , they are one of the best alround pads that I have tried
Many thanks Ian

HI Aleksandar

I have emailed you all the details you need now , what a potch finding out the correct pads for you , Alcon aren't the most helpful of people when you need to find any technical info out , they just want to charge you there inflated prices to buy from them , good job I have the contacts I do to find the right ones to fit!

Many thanks
Ian

Ok if you want some pads for a standard cars brake setup, these are not standard, these are speciallist brake calipers.
