I'm going to be changing my pads front/rear Saturday, just wondering if anyone knows the differences between the types of pads available from the dealer or even from a local parts store.

I want good stopping power, or whatever was OEM.

Any info would help, thanks.

 

Basically the same, but I stick with the nissan pads cause theyve never squeeked for me. The raybestos power stops or whatever are noisy from my past experience.

 

This might help you decide on which brake pads to use.

Hope this helps.

 

OEM pads are ok. Make sure you get OEM. The Nissan dealer will try to sell you "Key Value" pads, avoid them like the plague. THEY SUCK!
