So I bought some Autozone Semi-Metallic Lifetime Pads for the front of my Jeep the other week, and it didn't turn out all that great.
The pads grab and stop real well for having a set of 32" BFG's. The only problem I am having with them is that if I am using my brakes to control my speed coming down a hill at about 30-35mph, they don't take but a second to turn to goo and start stinking like hell.
My old pads never did that, and they might have had a good couple thousand more miles on them, but when you're chasing Rally Cars thru the woods the last thing you need is brake failure, so I changed them out before this weekends event.
So in thinking I was doing something wise, I actually sabotaged myself. I went back to Autozone, got a set of Morse Ceramic Pads, and they are letting me return the shitty Duralasts.
Weird, cause my last pads weren't anything special... :twak:
