Not really caring about price as long as they are not redictlos. I was thinking of going Hawk Carbons and those Frozen Rotors? Either way, I want something that will last, I had my Maxi for 7 years and she needs some work, she is still running good tho, Just need brakes, ball joints, a tranni, Ac compressor and I think she has a missfire and I need Control arms and she is getting rusty underneth in the Quater panels and skirts.

Basically I just wanna do this and the ball joints so I can enjoy her final years, 217k on her lol and than when I have the money (hopefully in a year or 2) let her go

Any help would be great and where to buy that ships fast. Are these really the best brakes to go for? I just am sick of dust and want the better stopping power of (or better?)Ceramics. I used to have Axxis Ultimates or something but those sucked. They just wore down in a year and a half to bare metal and dusted to hell, Rims were black in a week.

thanks

Brake upgrade to Brembo would do the trick...but OEM is your best bet for all the above (stopping power, dusting, and quiet)

idk man, these current ones are oem but ceramics and they dust to ****. lol, I used to do the brembo thing but personally I don't trust brembo offline anymore because of so many knockoffs out there.


I still like to know how hawk pads are as well as carbon rotors. Like I said, Money is not a huge deal for brakes for me as I want them to last the rest of the life of the car.

did the search function break this morning? I feel like we've had this thread... i dunno, approximately 8000 times over the past couple years.

I used to use OEM Nissans only. But the price has gone up so much, I just used Akebono's in July--ACT 526 for the fronts, ACT 540 for the rears....no noise whatsoever, seem like fine pads....not sure how to compare the stopping power of these ceramics, but they stop fine....

S1cTech

Didn't feel like it. I'd like to see what is new that is out. Searching for product is pointless on here. Searching for problems makes more sense.

S1cTech

so any other suggestions? How are the Hawk HPS pads?

Brembo Rotors/Akebono Pads. better than stock performance (I drive mello, not like I stole it) and very low dust. 10K miles on them now, and not a hint of an issue.

where can I get real brembo blanks?

My i30 came with factory Akebono pads. The replacement factory pads were Hitachi. They are still on the car at 130K+ miles.

My rotors pulse a little especially at high speed. Thinking to go to Brembo rotors. We have a bike in the family that has Brembo brakes.
