Im doing some general maintenence and need some suggestions, especially on the brake pads.

pads: I need new brake pads, and I figure I might as well get some aftermarkets. Any good suggestions that won't break the bank...and last a while?

brake fluid: I heard this can actually make a pretty big performance impact, any suggestions?

 

awww come on ppl....my dad wants to go get brakes now

 

well, too late now, ended up getting duralast gold rear brake pads... did I get ripped or are these ok?

 

actually not too late... we can't get the brakes on cuz we don't have a clamp big enuf. Somebody plz tell me if these brakes are good or junk.

 

I don't know what your budget is, but I've never even heard of duralast gold....but a good brand is Raybestos Quiet Stops or some Axxis Metal Masters. Hopefully this reply isn't too late.

 

maybe not too late...he could take those back when he takes back other coolant sensor. We could order other ones when we order a ks... Anyone else have suggestions?

 

Use ceramic pads, these are what the Nissan OEM pads are. You will get less dust, less noise and long life in comparison with most other types of pads. For normal street use, the ceramic pads are great.

Raybestos makes the QuietStop pads (Advance Auto has them). Akebono makes the ACT pads (www.tirerack.com has them). Or get the Nissan OEM pads (Courtesy Nissan has them), they are pretty good. Don't get the Nissan value pads, though.

 

thks........
