They are fantastic. Keep in mind after about 5-10,000 miles you're going to want to take the pads out and grease the backings with brake quiet.

They are Ferodo DS2000 pads IIRC.

good to know.


They do dust like a mother compared to the Z pads though....no clue how nissan managed that.

Aren't they full ceramic (the Zs?)

don't recall

Whatever they are they are a really nice full street pad; long life, quiet, decent performance. We all know what happens when you take them out on the track, though.

yeah, really can't do better for a stock street pad imo

Agreed.

I liked them so much I bought Akebono pads for the gf's Benz.

i want a smaller steering wheel

Hmm... I don't think you'd appreciate a smaller wheel when you're ripping through the Dragon. This is the type of car that makes use of a bigger wheel, IMO.

Now I wouldn't mind swapping out my wheel for the suede wheel from the Boss.......

can you swap the sync buttons over? I thought about making that trade.

I just want like 1" smaller diameter. Wheel is too slow for me

Probably... not sure.

I'll have to check into that I guess

FWIW, there are no companies out there that make any aftermarket wheels worthy of buying. Grant makes one, but they suck balls.

Best option, IMO, would be a swap with the Boss OR GT500 wheel.

GT500 would be easiest because it retains all of the controls.

yeah but pricing is very steep. I may just hold off and wait for a good option.

Doubt you'll get one. There really isn't much demand save for an all-out track oriented replacement. If there was there would be better wheels available for the 05-09s well before the 10+ came out.

I think it's just one of those things you'll get used to with time.
