Any ideas on alternate part # for pads?

[johnnyB5646]

I got the duralast pads from autozone, they don't fit. The clip on the inner pad is missing making the spring impossible to reinstall. I am struggling financially so just need a inexpensive pad, plus I need to go to work tomorrow evening so I can't wait for shipping. Basically does anyone know of an alternate pad that might work , the guys at the 6 parts stores I went to were no help. I can't believe that every store sells pads that don't fit. How much should I expect to pay at the stealership.

I know the 2010 Speed 3 and the 1 Gen Speed Brake Pads are the same
stock part number. You should be able to ask for a 2009 pad. And it should
fit.

Look out for the part number deal. The local auto parts shop are not consistently pulling up correct part numbers for the MS3 brakepads. There is a big thread on this topic on the other forum.
