The original Nissan pads match your description pretty well. I just changed my pads and the stock ones are top notch. They're quiet and not that dusty.

I got mine from http://courtesyparts.com/

I got them at Pep Boys. $54 for the front set. If you have the time, I would look them up on the internet.

Porterfield Carbon Kevlar R-4 Racing Pads......it owns you....steep price (159 front and 110) but if you call up, they have a maxima.org price of 128 for the whole car+~$10 shipping.

now that i did my whole selling gig, it really only matters on what youv'e felt. everyone will say theirs are the best. it's what makes you comfortable.

I've got the Porterfield R4-S pads. IMHO, they perform far better than the OEM Nissan pads. They do dust, but the dust removes very easily from the rims. They also make a some low frequency noise (like a rumble) sometimes when apply the brakes lightly at low speeds, but the improvement in overall braking performance is definitely worth it.

Does anyone have experience with Wagner pads for the front, the ceramic pads; PD815. Is there problems with dust, noise, stopping power, etc.?
Thanks
