Autozone Rotors

[Wess]

Well, I don't have a Gen III, but I have the '96 upgrade on my '95 so I will chime in. I used cheap AZ rotors with the Ford OEM pads 20k ago, and the pads arn't even half-way worn yet, the rotors look great (and they have a lot of 120mph stops on them), and they dust very minimally.

That certainly gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling about my decision! Thanks

Ford pads

Im with ya on that one. I have ford pads, ford rotors and no problems.

That certainly gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling about my decision! Thanks

I warped the rotors on my '93 pretty badly a while back, Bob (jedhead) rode in it while they were warped so he can chime in if he wants to confirm this.. anyways I got a new set of rotors from autozone, they were the duralast not the valuecraft.. that was last feb. and they were warped by september, but then I'm pretty ******* brakes. I was just doing a '96 upgrade a week ago on that car and a slider pin on one of the 11.6 brackets was bad but since I'd put on the knuckles I went for 10.9s same as '94-95 brakes. I got the cheapest set of pads I could until my new brackets arrive.. the valuecrafts, even with that pad downgrade, the bigger rotor, caliper, and SS lines still got the car to stop a lot faster, although after a few quick stops those pads are already faded so I wouldn't reccomend them to anyone who actually drives their SHO.

I will confirm. Yes Matt is ******* brakes. Oh yeah the rotors were warped too. I am looking forward to how well the brakes will work at Buttonwillow.
