I am alsmost up for a brake job and wanted to install OEM pads. Where is the cheapest place to order them or if you can recomend something better then OEM in same price range which doesnt dust much. Thanks in advance.

 

From what I have seen and researched around the site, the OEM pads are junk and in a lot of cases create deposits on the rotors that makes them act like they are warped. You're probably better off anyways with a decent set from any autoparts store.

 

don't get OEM pads... garbage...!!!!

 

You can get Valuecraft pads for $17.99 at Autozone. I wouldn't... but you can

 

 

hmmm..


I got the Brembo blanks + Hawk pads but had fitting issues... after 3 weeks with no car waiting to resolve this issue with Automax, i called dave B and he swore on the new pads nissan is selling...

I got a set and so far it's been great: no dust as the original pads and absolutely no warping.


I have put only 3K miles on the new brembo + nissan pads, so i am not sure if the input is valid.

 

maybe you bought the 02-03 rotors and pads which are different from the 00-01

 

really? a brake thread?

if only there was a long brake thread with all the information needed

 

ick....OEM pads are about as good as the OEM tires. That is, not good at all.

try some of the new Hawk Ceramics, or if you don't mind a bit more brake dust the Hawk HPS....

 

Hawk HPS and get new rotors.... Powerslots on mine... 6 years and no warping no nothing. As JOsh said.. the only problem is the dust but you wash your car anyway....

 

Lontar,

Where did you get your engine cover?

 

AE..call daveb

 

Who is DaveB? Do you have his contact info?

Thank Sooner.....never knew the AE had this nice dress up option. I do have DaveB's contact info, well, I at least I know it's been posted in here a hundred times.

 

do some research...there are other things (i have them all)

 

Although expensive, the Nismo pads are excellent. Nismo pads with Brembo rotors are the only combination that I tried that didn't warp.

 

nismo??

just get hawk pads...they have a good track record

 

Yes, its just like JDM only better
