I just see one problem are the pads for RACE USE ONLY ? If so there really might not be any warranty as most race only components are covered by not warranty . Not that it should have happenned but there are really thinking the vehicle will be constantly inspected after each event .
I have never looked at any jap pads before , but the material coming off the backing plate THAT FARKING DANGERIOUS . If the pads are not for race use where fitted by a qualified persons , and theres no underwriting on there invoice etc like a disclaimer about not covered if used in race conditions etc . Then you really are being jacked about , what would have happened if you ran out of brakes hit someone ? The insurance company if there inspected the vehicle wouldn't be paying . There would have mostly sent the pads for a independent inspection and chase Centrax Auto QLD into court so fast they wouldn't no what hit them . Also try the local vehicle chambers of commerce in that state as well .
As for the cost , well since the pad is the same as aus spec sprinters and depending on how fast the car / what temperature the pads are getting too { This is now easy to tell with lazer heat temperature guns or the stick on heat range stickers } you could have maybe just used lucas pads $65-75 .4 friction coefficient , or maybe a Race brake pad compound for $145 which are always good and offer great service . Big brands if you must have the sticker to go with it would be Hawk , there $440 per set from memory and chew the discs like no tommorrow .
