Hey guys, i need to replace my rear brake pads. I just wanted to hear some of your guy's opinions on what are the best break pads for the price. I'm looking for something cheap but with at least good quality. I'm not looking to take the car to the track or anything like that, so performance is not exactly on what i'm looking for. thanks

OEM is a good way to go, not the Key Value stuff though. I've heard good things about Raybestos Quiet Stop brakes (searched today, and found many threads, mostly good). I actually just finished installing some rear Raybestos QS brakes earlier this evening. I had always used OEM until recently. I went with Hawk HPS's up front, better stopping power, and better fade resistance than OEM (at the time they were the same price as the OEM). Due to not having time during the week, and Kragens' being open (my local Nissan parts department is closed on Sundays), I bought the Raybestos. I paid around $40 dollars for them.

 

Porterfield R4-S.

 

Satisfied has some pads out for the max, around $45 a pair at JCwhitney. Satisfied is a great company.

 

i have axxis metal master on my front, i like it so far, it has really good grip all around, even when you just likely tap on the brakes. it squeals sometimes, but i heard it was normal when its cold and when you first break it in
