After talking to brake gurus at Stillen & Autospeciality.. as mentioned before, the 5th gen front pads that are available won't fit due to the thicker front rotor. So you could use a used front pad, but that's kinda pointless..

but.. in roughly two weeks, a correct pad <I>should</I> be available .. woo hoo!

anyone up for a group buy?? =)

 

What so special about the 5gen pads ?

 

who's coming out with new pads for 5th gen? Axis?

 

nothing. No one has made a pad that will work with the thicker 5th gen rotor. Axxis should have something available shortly. You can put the pad in, but once you put the rotor on, there is no clearance.

 

Sorry, but aren't Nissan's pads OK to use? Or are you simply referring to aftermarket pads?

Thanks

We're referring to aftermarket stuff.
