Brake pads for 03
Posted by: zesty
Date: July 06, 2008 06:21AM

I can remember in the past people had recommended brake pads that where non Nissan. I believe one brand was Greenstuff. Both brands produced less front brake dust than stock. Could someone help out with the manufacture and a place to purchase?

Thanks!

If just daily driver, I put on some Wagner pads from pep boys. Same stopping feel, No squeeling, and virtually no dust. Before I had to clean wheels after a few days, now even after weeks, the fronts are as clean as the rear wheels. $55, I think anything more for regular and spirited driving is just a waste.

Axxis pads are good.

Axxis Ultimates are nice and the Hawk HPS have good bite with a minor amount of dust for their stopping power.

I use brake horsepower in the rear and Hawk in the front...good balance.
