Is PBR what I know as "Repco" - the Australian company.

I installed a set of Repco Deluxe pads about 1989 at 15K miles. They require more pedal effort, and may not work as well as OE in a panic stop, but they don't dust, squeal, or chew up the rotors. I currently have 73K miles and project that they will last until 90K. Assuming I still have the car at that point (I'm only accumulating 2K miles per year at this point) I want to install the same pads, so are the Repco Deluxe now called PBR Deluxe?

Duke,

Yes, I believe that is so. The PBR Deluxes seem to work better than the old Repco dustless ones.

Just finished putting PBR Deluxe and Balo rotors on rear, on my '92 today. No brake squeal evident. Even used brake squeal goop too.

Just be careful, never underestimate any job, and no matter what always recheck your work at least twice.
