[Shotimes] SLO vs SHO Brakes & Pad Suggestions

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

Anyone using their new PF Ceramic pads yet?  Not supposed to be as dusty as
the CM pads.  Cost 2x more but have the same "lifetime" warranty.

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.
