I am currently using Performance Friction Z-rated pads on Raybestos rotors (NAPA ones).
Still not sure if I like that combo yet. The PFC pads seem to bite better when they're hot. Just an observation...

I have the exact pads and I'm very impressed by their low brake rotor dust and heat resistance.

Sounds like too many people took them up on it, per Strick's post that they now have a two year warranty.

I have been running these for several months now too. I've also tried Hawk HP pads and Hawk HP Plus pads. They all squeel on my car, specially the Plus pads. They tore up my rotors too. These Autozone PFC carbon metallic pads produce a squeel at much lower speed. Mainly under 10mph. I left the anti-rattle clips off too, don't do that. I'm getting tired of the rattle, guess maybe it will bother me enough to fix soon. I'm learning the hard way.
