I searched around and found some info but not enough to be able to narrow it down to one pad brand. I was told by a reputable shop by me that OEM pads tend to cause the squeal and I was told by another reputable shop that OEM pads tend to be the quietest. So I'm not sure what to believe? I have a G37S and tend to drive/brake pretty hard from time to time although I don't need extreme performance pads for the track so with that being said, suggestions with what I should go with? What are your guys' experience?


Project Mu?
EBC?
Stoptech?
Akebono?
Centric Posi-Quiet?
OE?



Thanks in advance !

I'm on my second set of the NISMO/R-Spec brake pads and am happy with them. No squeal, moderate dust.
