[Shotimes] Re: Performance Friction D598 pads

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

This is good news for those wanting cheaper pads.  Last time I checked at
AutoZone (in September) they still did not have the D598 size yet.  They did
have a new Ceramic pad material listed.  $60 a set vs. the $30 for the
standard Carbon set.  Not suppose to be dirty like the carbon metallic pads
according to the service tech helping me.  I plan on trying the new pad size
when in becomes available, maybe even the ceramic material.
