Brakes (life Expectancy)

got a little over 12k on my Anniversary Edition and brakes starting to feel gone. What pad life has everyone seen?? Are you running stainless steel lines?? And what aftermarket pads are you running?? I do not like cleaning aftermarket wheels daily so true Carbon Metallics are out......

some ppl also have brake problems. There's a lot of info about this on the .org. At 12K mi they will replace your brakes for free. BTW I had my front rotos replaced at 12K mi, now at 19K these feel great.

I had my rotors cut at 11K miles. After continued judder, I returned to the dealer. They wanted to resurface them again. I demanded they put on the new ones. The ones installed by factory are pos rotors. Dont throw away $$ on aftermarket stuff, just demand a brand-new rotors from the friendly Nissan dealer near you.
