Default Emergency pad situation

Ok I am down to nothing at all on my pads. trying to dial in the boost controller for 30 mins doing pulls past 80 and slowing down really did a number on my pads, now I have enough to slow the car down driving like a sane person. but I cant go in boost at all. my plan was to get axxis ultimate pads. but even if I got them during the week I couldnt install them until the weekend

My question is, can I get a DECENT pad at autozone RIGHT NOW? this is a 100% street car. 360+ whp. btw 94 ex.

1) how is this related to racing?

2) what do you call decent? if its 100% sane street driving you be able to find something at autozone that will work..

Yeah, why is this here?

Get $20 Autozone pads, don't drive like a ******** for a week, then put the Ultimates on when you can. Just because you have 300hp doesn't mean you have to use it all the time.

The PFC pads at autozone are the best they have in my opinion. And they're usually in stock. Very comparable to the metal masters if not better. I know they perform within my hawk hps pads.

Why? Changing pads takes 10 mins.

Flashlight.

You can change brake pads with a lug wrench, channel locks and 14mm socket..
