Get your stock replacement parts from the dealer; they cost more, but you stand a far better chance of getting good quality, properly fitting parts, instead of some "who knows where it's made", oddball stuff. Now, if you are going to upgrade to an aftermarket setup like SSBC, EBC, or other performance gig, then use their parts - they are made to work together, just like the stock manufacturer supplied parts do. We went through this scenario with a Honda we had; son took it to Midas for brakes when he had it with him at college, and had nothing but trouble, no matter how many times they honored the warranty. He came home for a week or so, and I took it to Honda, and they replaced all of the Midas stuff (ouch in the wallet), and voila!, no more problems. That changed my way of looking at this subject.
