Got Brembos (cross drilled - it was a deal) in the front and Performance Friction pads (you can get them at Autozone) - been through two sets of pads and no complaints. The backs are whatever brand Autozone carries and a Generic Carbon-Metallic pad.

Never heard a squeak out of them. The Performance Friction pads don't dust a lot like "some" popular pads out there. They are inexpensive too.

Performance Friction pads are mfg by Porterfield... which makes some of the best pads there are. Unfortunatly, Performance Friction are only made for the front brakes on a Maxima. If you are happy with Performance Friction pads and would like something even a bit better, you can get Porterfield R4S pads which are good for street and light race applications.

I want brembo slotted, if you really want drilled make sure that they are drilled at brembo, people will buy plano brembos and drill them their selfs, this means bad cracking.

Besides cracking, they will also eat pads if not drilled correctly. The holes must be chamfered (beveled) so that the holes are rounded off or they will slice up the pads.

As long as they're factory drilled and not blanks that somebody drilled, I don't see why not.
