I have them in the front Quiet Stop (ceramic) pads paired with Brembo blanks. I like them a lot I think they are quieter than my previous Stillen Xdrilled/Metal matrix pads setup. Although I think the stopping power was better with the Xdrilled rotors. Good Luck

Pretty quiet, decent stopping but not fantastic.

It's more of an OEM type of brake pads but more quiet. If you are looking for better stopping power then Axxis MM or Hawks are better choices.

Used Raybestos QuietStop pads all around. Had to ditch the rears when they cracked from my previous parking brake cable issues. Even glazed and cracked, those QS pads never squealed.

Still have QS pads on the front. Also, I have Raybestos rotors all around. The fronts warp like a real Maxima. Stopping power is sufficient, they fade a little when they get hot, but with SS brake hoses the overall package is decent.

I plan on swapping out the pads with Axxis MetalMaster in the front, maybe in the rear (or the Axxis Deluxe) and use 2004 Maxima rotors on the front with the BlehmCo BBK (bracket kit I received yesterday).

I recall reading that the rear pads are interchangeable among all the 5th gens... so in that case yeah, Axxis makes pads for the rears. (Metal Master, Ultimates, etc.)
