Holy braking power Batman

Hi All,

Just a quick note. There was nothing wrong with my brakes on my Suburban. No squeaking, would engage the anti-lock when stepped on, stopped with the trailer fine, etc. The previous owner about 30K-40K miles ago had replaced the brakes and the brake pad scraper had at least an 1/8-inch so they were OK. The only thing I had noticed was that after only 2500 miles I had to readjust my rear brakes by about 6-7 clicks. I thought this was a little excessive.

Excellent stopping ability. When I asked there were only 3 choices available. The NAPA by me is the regional distribution warehouse so I'm pretty sure they would have everything that's available.

I had put the same pads on the front of my racecar and they stop extremely well. Earlier this year my buddy and I compared stopping power, he won. We crossed the finish line at about the same time and I hit my brakes very hard, so did he. He stopped somewhat faster but he cheated by pulling his drag chute as well. Even with that, I stopped pretty damn fast. From a racing standpoint I don
