Good brakes for the max?

 

Dude...

 

Great Idea!

 

Just wondering... What brand would you go with that's not to pricey? I was thinking about going with Napa's brand. I didn't really know..

 

36 posts in 2 years... ill hep you out,...first off screw napa lol...secondly..... brembo blanks,.. with Hawk pads,.. thats the #1 recommened combo on this site for stock replacement,...

this is each - - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Bremb...Q5fAccessories

just make sure you cross reference the P/N's because those might not be right..

 

Dont go with Hawk Pads. they are squealing after couple of thousand miles

 

ProStop Ceramics that I got at Pep Boys are very good.

 

You get what you pay for.

Ceramics came on the maxima factory.

 

i hate ceramics, they dont bite hard enough for me.....they last pretty damn long though

 

Well I bought it at 80k so I wouldn't know. Alot of car guru's i know around here said Napa makes awesome pads. So I dunno..

 

i love my hawks! no squeal 15k in... its all in the install

 

Mine dont squeal either.

They are hard on rotors though.. Hawk also makes ceramics, at least they used to... Maybe worth checking out next time...

 

only if you dont wear them in properly

 

i got my ceramics at advance auto..couldnt be happier. my next brake replacement will be my hoses and either brembo blanks or slotted...i want a little eye candy..so probably slotted

 

 

+1

 

they need to be properly bedded in... some reading material...

I've using Hawks HPS for 5+ years, they only squeal when you don't install them correctly! Spray the backs with Quiet Squeal and make sure all your clips are in excellent condition...

 

then you must have bed them wrong...

Mine never squeled

 

btw this thread = WIN....:sarcasm:

 

O rly? after i changed the front one with EBC yellow, i have never had any issue. now my rear one is doing the same thing.

BTW, i also have followed the procedures like the one in here

Ya, rly. As CMax and sooner have both pointed out, if you properly bed HPS pads in they will run for ages and provide plenty of bite. One of the best investments I have made on the max to date, although I will admit bedding them in kind of freaked me out!

 

regardless if you get hawk or not your **** is still gonna warp

 

No.

 

I ended up just getting OEM Nissan Ceramics. I got a good deal on them from everythingnissan.com.

 

Guess I'm too late then - but for the record... I put Raybestos A.Tech. rotors and pads on my 2K2 Turbo (planned on selling it within a month) and for the price, they blew me away. Way better than OEM and we drove the car for another 10K before actually trading it in, partly because of the improved braking and having fixed a $#!t load of other stuff. We have Brembo/Hawk's on the G35 and these are almost as good. If your looking for a cheaper alternative, that still outperforms OEM Nissan/Infiniti brakes, I'd give 'em a shot.

 

My buddy works for that dealership in Scottsdale, AZ and got them for under 100 bux for front and rear. Cause I live in Northern AZ.. So he hooked me up nicely.

 

PBR Metal Master brakes..formerly made by Axis...great stopping power and VERY VERY low dusting

 

Ceramics tend to squeal more when it's cold out. It happens on my Max and my wifes brand new Pathfinder.
