[Shotimes] OT- Questionable Auto Zone experience.

[Ron Porter]

I did a quick Google; and got this link:

http://www.nationalfleetparts.com/pfc3.asp

I checked on a '97 T-Bird Super Coupe. They have the Carbon Metallic in the
0598.20 p/n for $41.03 in stock.

They also list the Z-Rated 0598.10 at $51.46, and the Silent Ceramic 0598.80
at $47.03, but both of these are out of stock.

Wonder what the best (cheapest) source for the 598 PF pads are?

Autozone doesn't list them
