Brake pads!

Kaminari Kuro · 05-26-2014, 10:09 PM

I submit that unless you track your car hard and often, stock Nissan pads are your best bet, even for the occasional "spirited" drive. The stock pads don't dust too much, are quiet, and have a great cold - hot performance range. If you're tracking often, then you might consider two different sets of pads; one (stock) set for the street, and one (dustier, noisier, higher heat range) set for the track.

Stock don't always = inferior crap. Sometimes it ain't broke, and doesn't need fixin'.
Cheers

Akebono Pro-Act. Much better than OEM on my G37 coupe. They give way better feel and modulation. The brakes were like a light switch with OEM pads and I hated them before I changed to the Akebonos. Very little dust as well.
Just my .02

If you want low dust, go for ceramic pads from whatever your favorite company is. Stoptech, Hawk, akebono all have a set (or 2)
