> I had 'em on my '89, with the original '89 brakes, as felt that they
worked quite well. I put the PFs on the rear of the '95 a few weeks ago, and
they gave me a harder brake pedal over the (admittedly pretty worn out) Ford
pads. All for $31 and a lifetime guarantee at AZ.

    I agree, bang for the buck, a very good pad.  Takes a lot to get them
into the fade zone.  Good for the occasional track day.  And you can't beat
taking 'em back an getting a new set at the local 'zone everytime you rip
them down to the backing plates <g>

With boneyard 96 brakes getting easier to get, and $30 pads such as these
now around, you get pretty decent brakes for the $$.

On a side note I just put 96's on the wife's 91.  Running Ford pads, noticed
the ones I got look very different from the older ones I used to run on the
92.  Possible material change maybe.  They seem to work good, quiet, and no
dust like the old ones, but we'll see if the hold up as long.  The older
ones wore like Iron.
