Are Autozone's Premium-Ceramic Brake-Pads as Good as what Came in my 2000 Z28?!?

I have 57k mi on my Z28. Yes, they are the Original Pads!! %26lt;:^D

(Highway Miles, Obviously!!)

I have Noticed that Recently they feel a little Different. No Squealing yet, but the Rotors look like the Area where the Pads Normally Rub appears abit smaller.



I know I should Change the Pads here this Spring, and I know how to do it.

But, where should I go to get New Pads, that will Last as Long as the Factory Pads did?!?



I am Aware that they are Probably Ceramic Pads, but the GM Dealer charges INCREDIBLY TOO Much for me to Justify Buying from Them.

I have Changed Brake-pads for People, and have Personally found Ceramic-Pads to Last Longer on Cars. The Pads I get for People come from AutoZone.



I know that there are Expensive Brake-Pads out there that are around $100 a Set, but I am wondering if they are Worth it.

At AutoZone, the Premium-Ceramic Pads are $60 a Set for the Front.



So Ultimately, are the AutoZone Ceramic Pads as Good as what Came with my 2000 Camaro Z28?!? What do You Recommend I use in my Factory Calipers?!?Are Autozone%26039;s Premium-Ceramic Brake-Pads as Good as what Came in my 2000 Z28?!?
yes, the cerammic pads will last longer than your factory ones will. ive seen many with over 65,000 on them and we have a fleet of gm trucks. its all i use on them now. you'll be happy with autozones pads. i put them on both my vehicles too!! happy brakingAre Autozone%26039;s Premium-Ceramic Brake-Pads as Good as what Came in my 2000 Z28?!?
I would only use AC Delco pads. A possible exception would be Bendix. I know you buy stuff at Autozone, but aside from the Fel-Pro gaskets they sell, their parts have no where near the quality that AC Delco has. I would look online for your brake pads or through an independent parts house that sells AC Delco. If you end up going to the dealer, ask for 10% off. Tell them you're a loyal customer. You may pay more for the real deal, but the real deal will last longer, be quieter, provide less brake fade, and you won't have to change the pads as often. The extra money on Delco pads will be well spent.
