They are Morse, but I think its up to the seller to determine the warranty. A lot of Autozone's stuff is lifetime warranted.

Kyle let us know how you like them. I love my Morse ceramics and hopefully the Friction Masters are the same quality.

autozone brake parts SUCK A$$ dont waste your money, NAPA has everything you need for the same price. after i just spent 340 bucks redoing my entire brakes from autozone they sound like garbage, squeeking, grinding, the rotors felt warped right out of the box.

That's because you didn't buy Morse ceramics from Autozone. I've had mine for 2 months and they stop smooth with the Ebay slotted rotors.

I've been around a while now guys you can call me Scott......

And yes I've had the morse ceramics (very quiet and reliable even with AZ rotors) and right now I'm using Raybesots (same but using with the slotted and drilled rotors from ebay) My car stops very quietly and quickly now.

PS - Misted (I don't know YOUR first name) did you use a whole lot of the brake grease?

my names Vince

i greased them before i put them on and they squeeked so i drove them for about 15 miles and they still squeeked so i added a little more and to a couple new places that i pretty much knew wouldnt have an affect but for shits and giggles. and they still squeek now they are making a grinding sound after the brakes are warmed up. it almost sounds like the ABS grinding noise but i know its not but its just a noise relation.

actually, the thing that sucks it the MORSE logo is on the back of both boxes and the pads themselves say morse on them..so the warranty thing kinda makes me mad.

Hmmm that's odd, maybe they changed the name to Friction Master just to do away with the lifetime warranty.

I really didn't notice any excessive dust during break in, but then I didn't look for any either. I know that they don't EVER get my wheels dirty, they are fantastic pads.

The slots/holes have a little sharpness to them when they are new and they are shaving the pads. Once the sharpness wears off they should be dust free.
