not quite meaedul...
PCCB ( Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes) are the rotors. They use composite pads with them
http://www.porsche.nl/911/911_gt2/ze...12381,,00.html

eturnl is referring to ceramic pads.
http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/tech/...rake_pads.html

there are 5 types of brake pad materials
Organic Fibers (cellulose, aramid, etc.)
-Semi Metallic
-Sintered Metal
-Carbon Based
-Ceramic

and the combination of those are what differ brands from each other.

the nissan pads are semi-metallic and non-organic from what i could find..if anyone else can find different please post.

I concur.
I don't think the Maxima pads are ceramic.
I believe they are Semi-metallic.
