Does that mean the pads and rotors are proprietary to Power Brake and not available anywhere else?

Yes, that's correct. Well, I can get them for you as well as any dealer, but they're made by Powerbrake.

Far west of Siegen
Are they stocked in a warehouse in Charlotte, or is there a showroom where I can go and look them over?

I'm not sure if they have a showroom, but they have an office and warehouse there.
40 Odell School Rd STE 9, Concord, NC 28027
Call them before you show up, as they travel to a lot of shows and may not be there all the time. 704.804.2438

I would have to double check but I believe the literature that was included with the kit does cross reference brake pads by other manufacturers as possible replacement options.

FYI;
I just got the Toyo823 kit fitted which is for 16” wheels.
OEM wheels DO NOT fit. As mentioned earlier in the thread, a spacer will be required to use OEM or similar wheels. I am not sure a 1/4” is enough, if it is it will be very very close.
I also test fit some generic steelies with 4.5” backspacing, no go.
It’s not the diameter or even backspacing that’s a problem, it is wheel design and dish of the wheel at hub mounting surface.
I did try some Raceline 17” beadlocks with 4.75” backspacing and no issues. I also tried some SCS 16” with 3.5” b/s and they also fit no issues.
I also had to grind the knuckle a touch so the PB mount cleared it, this is different than the grinding mentioned in the instructions which wasn’t required.
Cheers
