[Shotimes] SLO vs SHO Brakes & Pad Suggestions

[Paul L Fisher]

Actually, Performance Friction now makes the correct size '96+ SHO pads.
They aren't listed properly but the part # is 5984 or the new # is 0598.20.

According to the same catalog what you are saying looks right at least for
the pads, '94-'00 SHO/SLO use the same pads.
