Question "Performance Friction" Brake pads

At AutoZone. Anyone try them? "Corvette Fever", "Car & Driver" and "Hot Rod" have good things to say about their carbon-metallic pads.
Are they as good/better than OE for stopping? What about dusting?
Carbon-metallic pads usually dust more than OE. How much more, if at all?
How about the PFC-Zrated pad?

Never heard of them....
Are they Autozone brand?-- If so i'm not too fond of those. And the reason maybe why they are getting such rave reviews is the amount of $$$$ is being thrown to the people that give them good reviews.

they come standard on f-bodies from the factory. IF you want to upgrade you can...to the Z-Rated version; a little more expensive though, but you can tell the difference right away.

So, how is the dusting?
I would get the Z-rated ones.

I am running Performance Friction 97s on my car for track use.

PF is a very well known pad.
