The Nismo pads are a nice improvement over OEM but I also installed them along with new rotors, braided lines, fluid and the master cylinder brace.

Less initial bite, especially when cold but FAR more modularity. They're extremely sensitive to brake pressure without being grabby and do offer more overall braking power. I often found the stock pads to lack outright power, especially when it's hot out and they performed better in winter. The Nismo pads will squeak if you drag the brakes at low speed or if you just washed the car. Otherwise they don't make any noise. Look around as you can get them for a very good price. They're made by Ferodo for Nissan.

I'd like to try the Carbotech 1521 or even the new Akebono performance pads just for ***** and giggles.
