Second, why pay for Nismo pads when you can get better quality pads for less money? I have a set of Carbotech XP10 front and XP8 rear that I got for $330 total. The pads are incredible for the track, and I'm just leaving them on all summer (too many events and too little time to keep swapping). If you pay $500 for Nismo pads, you're really paying $250 for pads and $250 for the five letters in Nismo.
Like I said, the car came with them, I couldn't have them remove the Nismo Pads. And the other $250 for the Five letters Nismo isn't even showing up anywhere anyways, it's not like buying a Nismo strut bar which at least has the Nismo wording on it. Either way, I know there are other brands out there that gives you better bang for the buck, but I'm stuck with it now cuz the car had everything else I wanted on it.

By the way, I dig the gunmetal rims you have on your profile pic. NICE!
