Thats wierd. They told me 3days. Ordered them Mon and put them on Wed. Sometimes you can ask for them to check a sister store. I was used to changing my pads every year just to have fresh pads but these things looked brand freakn new. I was amazed. Well, good luck with those duralast, I hope they work for you.

I use Hawks pads with slotted ws6store rotors and they work great.

Ive installed the EBC brakes on other cars and had problems but never installed them on an F body.

I have mine in the air right now to change pads. The fronts are down to .100 inch and the rears are still pretty thick, so I am planning to do only fronts.

I was thinking about ceramics since the fronts turn black in about 2 days, but I'm not sure about mixing the ceramics on front with the semi-metallic on back. Thoughts?

Here is what Advanced Auto Parts has right now. Thoughts on your picks?
