Autozone pads part 2

I guess I will do this as another review of pads after this thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...=autozone+pads

At the end of my shift one night while delivering pizza, my front pads went out on me. i knew that they needed to be replaced soon, but didnt know it was then. I worked the next day and needed pads ASAP. i read that thread and was considering trying them out myself anyway, and now i didnt have a choice.
I already installed the pads about 3 weeks ago and have over 1000 miles on them. I must say that i am really pleased with what they have given me so far. I have never experienced fade with them, they make far far less dust then the stock pads. They dont squeal at all, and they only cost me $38.99 with a lifetime guarentee.
I have gone in excess of 120mph more then once and have felt very confident with these and have not had any trouble with them. I would highly recommend these to anyone who daily drives their evo, as i do.
I just replaced my rear pads with a set from Pep Boys that were only $39, and will be giving a review on those soon too!

Ive been saying it all along if you dont race your car at the track the pads from pep boys or autozone will do more than an adequate job. They are great and work just like any other pad out there

If it is just a street car no tracking I don't see anything wrong with it. Glad to hear they are doing well for. But I must say why use the Evo for Pizza Delivery? It kills your car. I used to do when I was in college.

i love my EVO and wouldnt have it any other way. i take very good care of all my cars, and have had a few. Even when i had my 350z, i delivered pizza in it everyday. I said i daily drive my car, not i daily race and bit the sh*t out of my car! LOL!

"so i bought hawk pads i hate them, all they doo is squeel!!!!!! "
When you installed the pads did you do a pad slap or did you use new rotors? Which hawk pad did you put on? and the most important question...did you bed them properly? The only reason I ask so many questions id because I am interested in a set of Hawks when my stockers are done.
Thanks

p.s. sorry for the hijack

off the topic, and out of curiosity, does your login have anything to do with a portuguese fish?
