I cant afford the 120 dollar porterfields, so I was gonna go with the top of the line pepboy pads. Does the Max call for ceramic, semi-metallic, metallic, organic, carbon, or what? Thx 4 the help,

organic pads wear faster...

there's no need to spend $100+ on those pads.

The Axxis cost 1/2 that and work just as good, if not better. The Metal Masters put out about 35-40% less dust than stock, bite better, and fade less. Not bad for $47 for the front, $38 for the rear

they are semi-metallic if you're wondering.

Well, if you are gonna get non high performance pads, why not just go with the stock Nissans. Believe it or not, the stock Nissan pads aren't that bad at all. Courtesy probably has them for a reasonable price.

Thanks for the recommendation. DO you know which model fits on the maximas? And where can you get a hold of these?

I guess I have to repeat myself:


PLEASE LOOK IN THE MAINTENANCE STICKY POST.

Member "got rice?" sells the Metal Masters through his website. ALL info, including a lazy link to purchasing them is there if you will bother to look.


mzmtg's suggestion is good as well if you're in a bind. Also Bendix Titanium IQ pads are good as well and are available at Advance Auto Parts......

Email me and I can set you up. I ship internationally on a regular basis and work with you. Most of my customers don't pay a dime on duties

I've got the Axxis in stock and ready to ship.
