hello,

i am new and a noob.. i've done back thread reading as i can't search. i am wanting to badly change my pads. i am settling on the axis pads. ?? unless someone recommends.. where online should I order? i know of importrp.com. what is a decent price to pay??

i am looking for tips and ideas, if i can do it myself.. i know it is easy if u know, but as a noob, i don't mind trying and actually want to try, i just need some sort of guide, diy or whatever... or maybe i can go to shop.

after pads, im gonna flush and do the fluid thing...

anyhow please help or suggest if doing pads is as easy as it seems..

 

i just ordered Raybestos Quietstop ceramic pads for $95 f/r shipped. not too bad a price, and from what i hear, theyre good pads, but if you need to further look into your options, go here: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaBrakePads

 

thanks..so thast for both fronts and rears right???

 

wanan try axis.. i was recommended the deluxe.. any ideas?

thanks, was gonna run this w/ valv synpower brakefluid..

thanks..

 

ommpf..
easy or what to change pads? how do u know if its worn?? can u guys help identify?

 

say HELL NO to RAYBESTO

GARBAGE, JUNK, TRASH, WASTE OF MONEY, RIP OFF. what else can i say to describe R QS's ?

squeek like there is no tomorrow. grind like nothing else. and they wear down sooooo fast, its not even funny. only good thing is that they are low on dust.

STAY AWAY and get QUALITY PADS !

 

FIRST Learn what your talking about and then post up about the product.

I would never use anything other than rebestoes quiet stops..there great all around, in the cold, warm, anything, never qweak one bit...

yours must have been installed wrong bud

Where did you order them for 95$ shipped for fronts and rears ???

-matt

 

the Axxis metal masters work real well and they are rather cheap. The only problem is the dust like no other

 

bump.. i was recommened axis deluxe???

where can i get online??? importrp.com seems the suggested, anywhere else?? please help. thanks yo!

 

LOL, thats a funny **** sig. lol

 

i have raybestos qs for my fronts, and no complaints here. I havent had one squeak from them yet, and the dusting is absolutely nothing. I have only been using them for a little over 1000 miles so far. But no problems yet, and I am heavy on the brakes.

 

I also need front and rear brakes plus all 4 rotors. Has anyone heard anything good about DuraLast Gold brakes?? Wondering how they compare to OEM brakes when it comes to dusting and sqeeking.. Thanks

 

im deciding for my 97 either

ultimate, metal master or deluxe ..

or should i got
front metal
back deluxe

or just use it all same?? i want somethign thast better, yet mostly not make sound..

do i have to apply anny compound?

 

I went through two sets of Porterfields before switching to Raybestos QS and I have been very happy with them. They stop just as well and there is FAR less dust. I haven't noticed any noise either.

 

Bendix "import quiet" pads are OK....lots of grip, but really squeeky when you first roll out of the garage in the morning. after that they seem OK. I tried Nippon pads once....even better stopping, but squeeked and squeled all the time.

I would avoid the generic brands of pads, at least on the front. I have had good luck with wear-ever brand rotors from Advance Auto...i have used them on half a dozen cars/trucks. But, the max is my wifes daily driver....it will never see "fast paced" driving beyond the occasional off ramp.

 

sup guya plese suggest what i shoudl do.

also what flulids u guys running for brake system?? what brand is good?
thanks.

 

bump yo.. want to know what fluid u guys run and pads..

wanna order axis but d k which ones and or combo..

 

I just ordered new akebono pads, and brembo replacement rotors. Ill post once I get them on and running.

 

im thinking bout ultimates for heavy daily traffic, driving, no autocrossing and etc.. what do u guys think? are they safe enough??

hwo bout roatar life?? will it be affected? or should i just go w/ the metal masters??

thakns..

 

what compound do u put on the back of the pad??

do u guys use the clips for the new pads? like put the old ones onto the new ones??


from the DIY by motorvate it seems easy. just take off the caliper and slide pads out, pack new ones in, thats it!!

ordering my pads should be in about a week.

 

where can i get some AXIS pads besides importrp??

thanks

 

Just go to Napa or Autozone.Works just as good as the rest.Since you don't do heavy breaking and alot of track.Save some money for other mods.

 

best pads to put in there after ive tired about 10 different kinds.. for the front FACTORY NISSAN .. there the only ones that never gave me a problem, and never made any kind of noise at all

 

Another satisfied raybestos customer: organic pad up front and QS in the back

 

okay guys my order is put in, and so what do i really do to change pads? is it easy?? it seems like it... do i need any compound to apply to the rotar? or pad itself??

should i shoot some stuff to clean it? i ultimately wanna eliminate the sound i hear currently

thanks.

 

bump.. pads coming in soon.. gonna shop for stuff..

 

bump..need help for fluids..

 

this sucks.. i think maxi pads for the 97 sucks.. i mean it keeps making sounds.. i d k what it is.. i checked the pad, plenty life.. rotar seems fine, no stress marks, but could be glazed?? quite frequently it makes a sound b4 braking but braking is alirght..

i bought new pads.. and since i still got pad life i might as well wait?? but today somethign wierd happened, i felt like and heard the pads scarchgint the rotars?? after awhile it was okay.. dang...
