Crap I let a pad get totally worn and ruined a rotor.

Changed all 4 rotors last summer because I had wobble on the front oem rotors.
Pads were fine. Had planned to replace pads this spring.

I think the rear pad "unglued" itself from the plate and it ended up eating the new rotor, eh. 7 other pads were "within spec" but near the end of their life, but one of the rear pads screwed me.

So I will have to change that new rotor again. Sucks

I don't really want to drive the car too much until I get the new rotor because I am going to screw up my new hawk pad and this is not really better, eh.

I just had the passanger caliper lock up and wore the pad down to nothing. Time for new rotors for me too.

ya I rebuilt all 4 calipers a few years ago, they were quite gummed up and one was really stiff.

Had a hard time getting the parts. Nissan will own you on the price of the rubbers. was 70$ per axle or something for the replacement rubbers and clips etc.

I prefer the safety of oem style rotors. more metal.

Right now I have the "ate premium." they work fine.

I had a rear pad break on me last year. Made a God awful noise driving home. Dug a couple of nice grooves in my rotor too but I just put on a new pad and let her ride. I was working on putting akebono calipers and rotors on anyways.....yeah still working on that a year later too.

ya, I guess it "works anyway" with the grooves, but I'll just replace the rotor to be safe.... oh well.
