Metallic? Semi? Ceramic?
New? They are only 9.2mm thick from the plate backing.
Made in Canada? Any identifies if they are quality?

There should be a company name stamped into the back side of the backing plate. In any case, the FF pad code friction rating is desirable.

I can not quite make out the picture.. Do you have something a little bigger so I can get a better look??

You might try to see if a small magnet will stick to the friction material. I noticed that on a set of semi metalic that a vinyl magnet would stick whereas it would not to an organic friction material.

4RUNR

Nope, no sticking. I'm pretty sure they are ceramics since they are very light, barely tan color.

I put them in already, had 8mm left on old ones, and these are much firmer so they must be ceramic.

They are either organic or ceramic pads because even the semi-metalic you will see little shiny areas on the pads. My be would be ceramic as well since the little brown specs are not usually in a regular organic pad and those pads appear lighter in color than usual as well. Some manufacturers use different compounds so it is tough to tell for sure.

I think the picture is of the Mars Rover tire grooves.

Never mind the pads what is that material they are sitting on?

An orange goat that fetches me the wrenches of course

Stumbled across the answer....TS C
Trustar ( a marketing conglomerate )
Cermamic ( what the C means )

Trustar is a marketing company and doesn't manufacture anything. They rebadge and distribute.

If I were to make a slightly educated guess, I'd say these were built by Bendix.
