i went to porterfield-brakes.com and they only showed up to 2000 for the maxima brakes...


i have a 2001, where can i get them? or do they not make them for 2001

 

They are the same brake pads.

 

one more question.... what type should i get R4 or R4S

R-4 Carbon Kevlar
Ten years old and still an outstanding race pad, the original R-4 Carbon Kevlar has proven to be versatile and a superior performing product. We have added two new compounds to compliment the R-4.


R-4 S: Street High-performance & Limited Competition
The high performance street pad of choice. Very high friction level even at cold temperatures.



i brake hard kinddddddddaaaaaaa a lot and sometimes from highway speeds, but im using stock rotors , not slotted

 

R4S

 

k i lied, one more question ( lol i promise the last one)

which website can u metion for a price discount (i thought i heard someone say u can mention one for a discount)

 

MaximaDriver.com (I don't believe they do discounts anymore)

 

They did for me 6 weeks ago......full set of R4-S pads carried a $32 discount when mentioning maximadriver.com.


Has that changed recently?

 

I ordered them and they didn't give me mine.

 

Me either at first. Call them back and b!tch. You're welcome to use my name, as I'm sure they remember me since they shipped my pads to an old employer. Needless to say I was livid since they were and hour away from me.......

 

How much does a set of Porterfield fronts/rears normally cost?

 

and i mentioned the maximadriver.com group deal. on the webpage, it's listed at 118.00, but it's really $126. the girl said they hadn't updated the webpage to reflect the change in price. only 8 bones difference though....
i'm not much of a car guru so i don't know if this is standard price or not, but it seemed okay for all 4 pads considering costs i saw perusing the internet . . .

 

Nah, I'm fine with that because I did order front pads for the 300 ZX calipers. They gave me a discount on those last time.





Check out http://www.porterfield-brakes.com for pricing.

 

Hence, why the discount is $32 now instead of $40.

Good to hear they are still honoring that.

 

Grrr this thread made me do it. I just ordered 4 R4s pads. Came out to $139.00 shipped to Joisey. Hope these work well with the EMC rotors!

This site is very informative but painful for the wallet.

 

Their main advantage: easy on rotors

Their main disadvantage: dust

 

Really? I thought it was the opposite per their site. Then again you can't go with the manufacturers claims.

 

i just ordered my front pads, $90 didnt mention the maximadriver.com


by the way, the girl who took my order was pretty clueless lol, it was a pretty interesting conversation.


do you have R4S pads for 2001 nissan maxima.... yes we do... (silence) ... how much are they. $89.... (silence) okay can i have just the fronts... (silence) can i order them over the phone? (silence)... yes you can...(silence) do you want my credit card info? ... whats your name.... lol it was pretty funny, i was like are u trying to get me NOT to buy these?

 

Same girl I dealt with. It took an additional phone call to get the discount after asking for it the first time. After explicitly updating my address, she still had the pads sent to an old address.

She seemed more interested in flirting than taking my order.
