I am looking to replace the front and rear brakes soon. I am finding that the local parts stores like Autozone, and O'Riely's is not much help. I have a JLUR with the heavy duty brakes, and can not seem to find the correct pads.

Autozone and O'Riely's says that they have them. I show up with a pad in hand to make sure they match and they do not. They can not seem to look them up correctly.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
I'd go w/ the Powerstop Z36 sets from rockauto.com, should have improved bite and the cost is about the best vs. other sites I've seen.

I've bought parts from https://www.getoemparts.com/ on a serveral occasions. Pricing is good. Quadratec has the HD pads and discs but more expensive.

The part descriptions at "get oem parts" are a little vague when there are multiple configurations but they offer a quick response to questions. I don't need brakes this year but will most likely go there to purchase

Resurrecting this long dead post. Did you order the Z36 pads? If so, was the improvement worth purchasing? Would you buy them again? TY in advance.

FYI. I have a set and they are equivalent or better that stock. I even bought the whole kit with the slotted rotors when I saw them on sale a few months later. They will be swapped in when these current pads fade.
