IMHO, if it were my choice and for ease of getting what I needed - NAPA

Re: Local Disc Brake Pads, Who?

i was never happy with autozone pads on my bonneville. i personally like to step up to raybestos. go with schucks (also on partsamerica.com -- free shipping with orders over $75) or check rockauto.com for likely even cheaper prices.

Go with the NAPA Safety Stop series, or the Adaptive One series, they are both excellent pads and are made by Raybestos!!

Re: Local Disc Brake Pads, Who?

Thaks, want to stay with a around the corner parts store, On my old Explorer I went with ceramics, the rooters look good, no scores so I think I'm in good shape there. I'll more in likely go to NAPA.
