Its been two months since I installed the Performance Friction Z-Rated brake pads on all four corners, I have nothing but good comments to make about them.
1) great stopping results
2) nice pedal feel
3) no brake dust on my 17" wheels
4) no squeals or other noise from them
5) requires very little warm up before hard stops
I would recommend these PF Z-rated Pads.

 

When I did my full 1LE upgrade on my Z I used the same pads all around..Highly recommend them.I have experienced the same results as listed above..very happy with their performance.

 

These are different than the PF Carbon-Metallic pads? I have those on my truck and I don't really like them.

The PF Z rated pads are the next step up from their carbon metallics.I had those carbon metallics on my T/A and wasn't happy with them either.The Z rated are nice though..no complaints

 

Thanks...

 

I too had the regular PF pads, and I hated them so much I yanked them out after 2 months. I was happy to get $25 for them

 

hmm.. how much do z rated brake pads go for ? how would $11.99 semi metalic brakes compare to z rated pads ?

 

Like Night and Day! And it depends on where you buy them, Mine cost $84 for ft & rears.

 

Who sells them the cheapest?
Are there any better ones out there?

Can you lock them up easy?

 

Where did you get them for that price? The local Autozone wants $70 just for the fronts.

I bought the PF Z-rated Pads from National Fleet Parts, Inc @
www.nationalfleetparts.com attn: Rich Deary. They are located in
New Jersy and I received my Pads in less then 3 days by UPS.
Thats the price I paid including shipping, but I may be off a couple of dollars.
Make sure you get the correct rear Pads if you have the PBR calipers. Good Luck.

 

I want to order a set right now but are they avilable for rear drum brakes too? I went to the national fleet parts site and they did not specify

 

Thanks for the reply

Have a good 4th.
