I got quoted $120 for OEM brake pads (front and rear). Anyone know of a better deal?
Thanks

 

Hawk hps may be the same .

 

Yah, order Project Mus or Hawk HPS. It'll be better for you instead of the OEM's.

 

+1 for project Mu pads

 

Hawk HPS are about that much on Tirerack.com

 

If you enjoy cleaning your wheels after a 3 mile trip stick with the OEM pads.
I still can't believe Nissan could put out such terrible brake pads! I switched
to Hawk HP's months ago........almost the best mod I've ever made! If you
get the Hawks make sure you follow the brake-in procedures......takes no more
than 10 minutes and it's worth it!

 

Are you guys comparing OEM Brembo to hawk or are you comparing OEM non-brembo to hawk? It's time for me to start looking at new pads and was just going to go with Brembo OEMs

 

I don't have any brake dust issue with my oem pads. I have non-Brembo though.

 

I believe they fixed the OEM brake dust pad issue with 05's+. If you got an '03 and '04 the OEM brake dust is pretty bad.

Hawk HPS will be an upgrade over OEM pads in both Brembo and Non-Brembo platforms IMO. Stopping power may be equal in both but definitely not brake dust. Hawk's emit a lot less.

 

I don't have brake dust issues. I have an 05 w/non brembo! Nissan quoted $100 for front and backs! But, I have to go in and order them and go back and pick them up. Waste of time.

 

dont even bother w/ changing your rears....ive got 50k miles and my rears are fine....

 

What happned in the last 10 years to Nissans ability to make quality brakes?
My previous car was a '92 300ZXTT and I put 117K miles on the factory
brakes before I changed them......even then the fronts had 15% left and the
rears still had 40%........and I had no issues with dust. Fast forward '04 and
the same company put out pads the won't last much over 10K miles and the
dust is terrible or worse! So that forces us to look elsewhere for quality
brakes with companys like Hawk.....

 

I have 20,000 miles on mine and still have over half left on them.
