Yup the larger pads are much more expensive , I'm guessing that was the price for the 2.4JTD pads?

I think the pads are about twice the size on the 330mm V6, so its fair enough.

It seems like the smaller DS2500 pads don't squeek quite as much as the larger ones, but the majority of people I know who have tried DS2500's with the 3.2v6's 330mm calipers have varying levels of noise irritation, a few with none, but city driving seems to cause it mostly.
It is tolerable if you are prepared to compensate your slow speed stops. DS2500 are good pads though too.
