Though there are others here that will disagree... don't buy stock pads. I think paying $20 more (or perhaps less vs. Infiniti prices) for extra stopping power is well worth it over 60k miles. I replaced my brakes at about 5K miles. Then I replaced them with upgraded Wilwoods at about 30K. The pads (not the crossdrilling/slotting) make the real difference. Check in on Porterfields or Axis Ultimate brake pads. BTW, NEVER buy "lifetime" pads/shoes from your "local autoparts stores".

A good low priced pad is the Performance Friction Carbon Metallic. $32 at Autozone. They are only available for the front though. If you dont specify, you'll get Nissan Key Value parts from the dealer. And trust me, those suck big time.
