94 vette running PFZ pads on J55 setup. It'll put you through the windshield on the first stop. No warm up needed. I don't dislike them that's for sure. I do prefer Hawk HPS though. I also haven't driven this car in below freezing temps.

I wonder though, did you bed them in? These pads require that as do most performance pads. Maybe try that before you ditch them. If you're still not satisfied, I bet you could make AZ take them back. Sorry to hear of your troubles. It sucks having to do the job twice.


I broke them in the same way I normally break in the HPS Pads; never had a problem with those. Does anyone know the "Proper Break In Proceedure?" It would be nice to know for the future how to properly break the pads in.


I can't blame autozone for what happened. This was entirely my fault. I normally research EVERYTHING to death before I buy it. I, as most of you know, have been known to ask some of the stupidest, and simpliest questions on here and on CF. But I have to say none of the information I obtained has gone to waste. The information I have obtained and the opinions over the years have saved me thousands of $$ and made the first installation the last.

When I went into AZ I figured I was just going to by some OE parts to put onto the beater. I never imagined that ANYTHING AZ sold would be anything close to a racing product so when they suggested what I thought to be their version of a high performance pad, I figured, "how bad could it be."

You can't expect someone getting paid $10 an hour to know how everything in the store is going to work or even care for that matter. When I go into AZ I usually go in knowing exactly what I am looking for. That leaves little or no room for error; although they have still been known to screw my order up.

What I am interested to know more than anything is why PFC is selling Z rated racing pads for a 3.4L, Monte carlo, with the small brake kit, though autozone none the less???????? Makes no sense.

If I decided to swap out the pads, can anyone suggest a useable autozone pad that I could purchase in place. The car spends 90% of its time on the highway, and I usually drive 500-700 miles week at around 75-80MPH.
