[Shotimes] Front 96+ upgrade

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

Bruce,
Hold on, I don't think that the 598.20 is the Z-rated pad.  Is doesn't say
on the on the page for the 598.20 search.  Doing a search on "598" brings up
3 results all showing a general Z pad black box.  The 598.10 is more
expensive and I would think that it is the Z-rate pad (confirmed on a "601"
search, the 601.10 is the Z-rated pad).  I have had the Z-rate pad in the
601 size for 4 years now and the stopping TQ they generate is very good.
I'm would to the 598 pad next but only in the same Z-rated pad.

Ok so I wasted a trip to autozone and now I have to take back the 601 pads i
picked up just incase I couldn't find the PFC 598's. Well I found them from
a distributor in NJ @ $41.03 a pair. A little more than I wanted to pay, but
they'll be here in one day. I can wait another day or two before doing my
brakes. Just wish I had a way to clean the rust out of the rotors I got. hmm
anyone have any suggestions on how to take care of the rust inside the
cooling vanes?

http://www.nationalfleetparts.com/   do a search for 0598.20

they ship same day before 2pm EST
