I am getting new front break pads soon and was thinking to get something different from stock. I can get stock ones for about $50 for a front set. And I don't want to spend more than that.

I found Raybeston Quiet Stop at my local PepBoys. Are those pads any good? I am not sure how much they go for, but I would think it should be near $50 as well.

 

Maybe I should just get stock pads.

Also anybody has a good instructions on how to change front pads. I heard it is pretty easy, I just dopn't want to mess up things.

 

Raybestos QS pads are excellent! No noise, 67% less dust than OEMs and stop great. www.Rockauto.com has the fronts for $42.06 plus shipping, Pep Boys gets $56.95 for them. Part number for 4th gen fronts is PGD653QS. Hope this helps!

 

Do you know the part number for front pads for 2002 Maxima?

Thanks.

 

No, but here is rock autos toll free number 1-866-762-5288.

 

Ya the QS pads are great!

 

I'm looking to get the QS pads as well. I hope they don't squeel!

 

They shouldn't

 

Have them on a 97 SE and I30, totally quiet!

 

Fellas, the reason I am concerned about possible squeeling is because I've used aftermarket pads before and have been very unsatisfied with the results. Unfortunately I don't remember the manufacturer of the pads. I do, however, remember how much they cost. It was around $90 something dollars for a shop to just replace the front pads. Since this is right around the price range of the QS's, I, well, I don't mean to say I'm skeptical, but... you get the idea.

I've since used Nissan pads with no squeeling whatsoever. They just wear out really fast.

 

Are the Raybestos pads ceramic?
I think I'll get them.
Has anyone tried GreenStuff? Any comments on them?

J.

 

Yes the Quiet Stop Pads are ceramic.

 

when I took off my snow tires a few weeks ago, noticed brake pads needed replacing. I tried a new local garage, and asked the garage guy to also check rotors as I was getting fluttering/juddering when braking at highway speeds. He went ahead and replaced all 4 rotors, which I thought might have been a little over the top, but after a few runs on the road, have had no regrets. He put on a set of 4 Raybestos rotors along with the QS pads. Totally awesome..the car brakes like a brand new BMW or Mercedes. Here's hoping they hold up for the long haul

 

Replaced all rotors (Brembo)and pads with QS Pads.That was 7 months and 7,000 miles ago. Have had no problems since then. Quiet, minimal brake dust and great braking. Sounds like your mechanic did a good job for you! You should be set for a long time.

 

Hmm, I think Raybestos Quiet Stop are around $60 or so at your local PepBoys store.

I also just found this other brand called Satisfied on TireRack for 2002 Maxima. Here is the link: http://tirerack.com/brakes/satisfied...rform+OEM+Pads

They about $30 for a set so definetly good deal.

Do you guys think these pads any good?
