For which car model are you going to use them for? Since last time I bought one was from Tach Motion Auto shop in Banawe it was for my Hiace 2011.

Forester 2.0x 2011. Thanks in advance.

Ohhh imports, not meant for the local market. Did you buy it on e-bay? Note: Guys ingat lng dahil naghahasik nanaman ng lagim ang asbestos pads sa market like LKC(yellow and violet packaging) and other very cheap brands magiging maalikabok ulit & hazardous air quality natin dahil hindi lng jeepneys, taxis and other puvs ang gumagamit kung hindi pati private vehicles narin, don't cheap out on air cleaner filter(for your health) and air filters for engines don't risks your health for a few bucks. If nagmomotor yung iba I suggest you buy an anti-pollution mask.

They're still using asbestos?! Isn't it banned already?

Sadly we have no laws in Philippines regarding the banning of asbestos. Manufacturers in Malaysia and other developing countries have little laws on controlling asbestos use. LKC is manufactured in Malaysia and material is asbestos, asbestos is a cheap material it is readily available. Only USA, Japan, most parts of Europe and other developed countries have banned asbestos completely. Jeepneys, buses and trucks buy from our domestic brake lining manufacturers which use asbestos as the main ingredient in the friction material.

Jeez. Am not gonna go outside anymore haha. I hope lawmakers take notice. Banning it sounds like something a lot more useful than renaming streets.

How about a Tsikot party list? Someone's gotta look after car owners' welfare

I rarely go ebay....They're quite common in US automotive parts shops & Amazon. The US Bendix PNs differ from Oz 1s.

Hahaha I agree, lung cancer or other lung diseases are no joke. Imagine you are a healthy person and non-smoker but because inhaling high volume of asbestos gives you lung cancer or damages your lungs permanently.

That maybe true a long time ago, but time has changed hehe people are now health conscious about getting lung cancer. As 1st world countries like the US, Germany, UK, Japan and etc.. have banned asbestos production for construction, automotive and other products, importation is also banned already. What we need is a really really 99.9% filtration for cabin filters so that it could filter harmful contaminants or pollutants from going inside the car through the aircon as this also affects how the car environment inside like sometimes old cars really smell because the owners were not good in cleaning their cars plus the air and aircon cabin filters they use.
