My brakes have been sqealing for awhile now...sometimes at lowspeeds and sometimes in the 30-60 speeds-- i hate em.. does this mean i need new brakes?? Cuz its going to start snowing soon and umm i wanna be able to stop in the snow

... And what kinda brakes pads should i get for best "stoppage" and i want minimal brake dust--cuz well my rims are soo black lately from the brakes.

Does the squealing stop when you step on the brake?

If I does then Im going with you got only a little bit of brake pad left becuase you are hitting your squeal sensors, and you should get those checked out/fixed asap. I dont' know how long they have been doing this, but its not advised to go along time. Once mine hit the sensor, I have gone no longer than 3 weeks. As far as helping you out with what kind to get I can't help ya there. I got mine from Autozone & they work just fine....

<a href="mailto:gr_racing@yahoo.com">shoot me an email</a> and I'll hook you up with the Axxis pads. $25/front, $38 rear for the 4th gen Maximas.

less dust, better bite, less fade. Tastes great, less filling!
