Yeah, 500$ seems steep. I will say though that I put nismo pads on my 350( with brembo calipers) and they worked great. Better than the hawks I was running. I do take it on the track, so for me it was worth it. About 250$ for the complete set on the 350.

The Nismo pads still aren't track worthy. You're better off using the stock pads (or equivilant) for the street and getting proper track pads such as the Carbotech. They will probably run you about the same $500 but you'll have street pads and track pads.

No. Anything with a Nismo badge is overpriced.
