hey guys time to do the first brake job on my 03 maxima, wanted to know what brake pads do you guys use? i tried buying them autozone but there telling the they dont have the front set that duralast is not making them. they have some organiz pads but read on them and there not so great. i just got some mounts from rock auto and chekd there break selection and they have some good prices. but the only thing thats confusing me is the ceramic and metalic and also the wear sensors they keep on asking me if has 1 or 4 do these really matter? thanks for the input

Depends on driving habits. I've found stock pads to still provide excellent stopping with spirited driving. Nissan offers a more affordable option now as well, but I've only tested hose on the rear. I find they last and have little dust.

 

i called the dealer ship to ask prices. but they wanted a little more than 80 dollar per set. i tought that was a little to much. i looked at wagner breake pads from oreilly, there ceramic and get them from rockauto for 60 front and back but the only thing had me confused is the wear sensor. i dont know if it just one or 4?

The cheaper set for the rear I mentioned, even came with grease and the shims made onto the pads.

 

OEM, EBC, Centric All ceramic /Thread..
