I just ordered eight sets (two sets for each wheel) for 69 bucks on e-bay...I haven't tried them to see how mileage compares to EBC, but I can change them a bit more frequently considering they were a quarter of the price!

EBC are the best that I have found, but at about 35 bucks a wheel they should be good! What quad are you looking to put brakes on?

After my stock ones wore out I tried EBC and they do wear much longer. I also used the engine braking much more ,I pretty well can stay off the brakes unless its a life and death situation now. LOL

Try Shade Tree in Middlefield, Oh. They have a showroom but are mostly mail-order.

You can do yourself a huge favor by looking up the part numbers before calling!! Also, you will need to know which pads you have, Polaris basically has three styles: Two holes at the ends, two holes close together or a single center hole. I want to say they were about $26/pair when I was there a month or so back!
