Brake pad recommendation based on experience?
I know this has been a discussed issue, but until now I haven't been concerned with it. I will, no doubt, be needing to replace my pads in December for my inspection and was wondering what you folks have found to be excellent replacements for a 98 Max. My main issues are stopping power and quietness. It seems my pads have been squeaky forever, and I really want some quiet ones to stop me. Money is always a consideration, but the two aforementioned issues are my main priority. I plan to replace my brake lines with SS ones sometime before next summer as well. As always, your help/feedback is very welcomed. Thanks in advance.

porterfield R4-s ...
Pro's
Stops very well
No noise at least in my experiance
Carbon kevlar supposed to be a little easier on rotors then ceramic
Cons
Expensive (we do get a deal from porterfield though if you mention them)
Dust... (I can live with this for the stopping power.)

Axxis Ultimate Pads are the best
Hey, I've tried a bunch of pads on my Max. My favorite pads are the Axxis Ultimates:
Pros:
- Grab hard
- Resist Fade well
- No squeal
- Noticable improvement in braking distances
- Not too pricey, cheaper than the dealer pads
Cons:
- Dust some (but easy to clean off!)
Give them a try, you won't regret them!

I have just replaced (a month ago) all 4 rotors and brake pads with following which I got a great deal for $230 including shipping.
-- 2 Front and 2 Rear Drilled and Slotted rotor with zinc plating
-- Axxis/PBR Metal Master pads for Front/Rear.
So far no noise or no sqeal in last 1000+ miles. And a great stopping power compared to the stock pads I got from Infiniti dealer.
I am thinking about upgrading to SS braided brake lines.

I didnt like my axxis metal master pads... I think the stock ones are better, or felt better to me. Right now im on some cheap albany pads from autozone, but have Hawk HPS for my 300z calipers.
