Kuppa I'm sure the NAPA ones are good. I do know that the ones Kragen/O'Rieleys/Shucks/Checker carries have a lifetime warranty though on the ceramics. I don't know if they have that chain in HI though?

I find NAPA pads to be excellent, and you can get the lifetime warranty ones IIRC

I had napa pads on my dodge there where the top of the line ones and they didnt last no time. I hate napa i have gotten more bad parts from them then anyone. I like autozone for my parts. I would save the money over napa.

I bought ceramic pads for my F150 once becuase i heard they were great for cooling fast, and i was hauling a camper, hauled a load of firewood down a hill, the pads looked like cracked asphalt afterwards. They're touted for cooling fast, but that's like in a racecar when they're on, then off (cool) then on then off (cool). Maybe they'd work on on slotted rotors, but then semi-metalic would be fantastic with slotted rotors (like my motorcycle). I thought Autozone and Napa give lifetime warrantee for the premium (not ceramic) pads?!?!?
