Cutting costs where you can. I doubt the pads would be a huge difference to a daily driver... I mean **** no one has sued autozone for not being able to stop in an accident, so I'm sure they do a good job.

Let me put it to you this way... I dropped Autozone pads on the counter from... 1ft above. They delaminated from backing. No thanks.

Well, they didn't fit even though they were for a 300ZX (latest turbo model). Spent an hour trying to make them fit... No bueno.

Looks like I have to drive her to work again tomorrow and hopefully the real pads will come into GST tomorrow. They were supposed to be here today. If they aren't, I'm going to make brake pads out of teh unit's nuts and freeze them so that there is some friction at least for a couple seconds..

Next time you need pads call me. Faster than GST (no offense, guys). I know people. Who know people. It happens.

I found out on saturday night that I needed them ASAP, you were closed on Sunday, and I thought the pads would be here today, but they weren't. Trust me, I would have went to you for parts if you were open, but the situation screwed me.

I'm using autozone's duralast rotors, it works great. Cheap, but works. Can't say about the pads, since I'm using HPS pads. Duralast pads that bad?

They wouldn't have come from me directly. Just call the celly. Do kids still call their phones 'celly'?

I've had bad experiences, but that's just me.

As an aside, I went to a yoga class where the hippie instructor talked about this. Pulling in the undercarriage to "tighten the internal organs while promoting better posture and sitting on your 'sit' bones".

So ninjas do yoga too!

ninjas don't do yoga...they are ninja concentrating. And just like Dwight from the office, if ninjas concentrate hard enough, they can raise and lower their cholesterol.
