Looking at some pads @ ebay and some of they states:
"Maxima 89-94 with rear drums"

Are the front pads different on models with rear drum vs rear disc?

 

All 3rd gen front pads are the same, regardless of rear setup..

 

Thanks, thought so

 

be wary of ebay pads. unless you find a deal on hawk pads, then lemme know!

 

Actually I found out that with shipping it was cheaper for me to buy them locally (Norway).
Most other things are way cheaper on ebay even with the insane shipping cost on some items, than here.

Like the Bosal front exhaust i boughts, exact same itemnr as my local supplier, but ebay wanted apx $100 + $65 for shipping ($165 total)
My local stealer wanted apx $550! and thats a "low price" dealership...

The same Bosal rear exhaust on ebay $109 + shipping $109 (so total $218)
My local shop wants a staggering apx $656 for it.. same brand, same item...
Even if you add the 25% tax/VAT we pay on import its a great deal..

 

check the group deal section, 79 bucks shipped on hawk pads.

 

All FRONT pads from 89-99 should be the same. I actually remember some of the part numbers lets see... 526, 653, bla I dont remember the rest, I think 630 was one of them too, Brian can finish the part numbers since he actually does know them all by memory

 

815 is the final number. 630 isn't one of them.
430 is the first number.

these numbers are not 100% interchangeable. Different brands use different numbers so go according to the manufacturer only.
bendix uses 430 to cover all the numbers
raybestos, wagner, FMSI use multiple numbers.
IIRC the 3rd gen takes 430 which is the thickest of all the numbers.

 

When I bought pads for my 3rd gen, I first had "Morse" MDK526 then Bosch RBP526, then Raybestos 653QS or something like that...

 

so that brings us to:
430 (bendix)
526 (bosch and morse)
653 (raybestos)
815

 

Glad we were able to help the OP
