I recently replaced my stock pads( keep in mind - they were not wore out: I was just experiencing too too much brake fade(spooky), my rotors warped at 29k miles, luckily i was able to have my dealer warranty a brake re-surfacing. I had very good experience with these Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads on my 92 max. They do a phenomenol job on my 2000. They are noisy, but who cares, they STOP HARD. hiGHWAY SPEED ADJUSTMENTS MUCH QUICKER, NO FADE( havent pushed them too too hard) they grab quickly at lower speeds. i HATE bRAKE FADE, THESE ARE A CURE FOR THE MAXIMA'S- YOUR ROTORS SHOULD LAST MUCH, MUCH LONGER TOO. AutoZone $32.00 Fronts Only for Now.

thanks for the info ABQMAX. i was looking for some decent replacements for the stock pads. one question though. you say they are nosiy, do they squeal in the rain or is it a constant thing? i appreciate any info.
