If you really like these pads, I just took some off because I cant stand them and I will send them to anyone if they pay shipping. They have a lot of pad left on them too.

Autoxer, I'd trade your set of used PF90's for a set of low miles front street pads that I removed from my 95. Currently I'm keeping them as spares, but a set of PF90's would be better spares, as my car never is driven on the street, and the rims are black with brake dust, already.

Jordan, If you'll post the pad thickness, I'll measure a new set and post it for you so people will know what they are getting percentage wise.

Basically, I'm told the rule of thumb is never to run the pads less than the depth of the backing plate, or the heat will transfer too easily, and the backing plates will get hot, then become soft, and bend from the piston pressure in the center. My last set bent like a big "C" with about a 3/4" bend in them.

I loved my PF90's. They held up well under roadcourse conditions that made the PFZ's fade into nothingness.

In fact, after running them awhile I didn't even bother to buy new street pads. Even completely cold these things had WAY more torque than a street pad. Of course they dust like mad and squeek when hot but I couldn't go back.

As I got faster, I eventually found their limits. But I don't blame that on the pad compound at all--I blame it on the tiny/inadequate braking system of which they were a part.

Pretty easy on rotors as well...my JC Whittney "el cheapos" lasted very well.
