Typically all the aftermarket caliper pads are more expensive, that goes for Stoptech, AP, Brembo etc. They are a little bit larger but I don't think size is the primary factor determining price, I think it is mostly about volume and how many pads of each compound they can make during a single production run. Small companies like Carbotech can't afford to have large amounts of product sitting around on shelves.
