Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / March 20042000 SE Rear Brake Pads Recommendations
looking for a good pad for rear brakes? thanks Are you asking or telling? Stick with Nissan pads which are very good and you won't have any problems. Make sure they cost about $50-70 not the Key Value Nissan pads which cost around $20 > looking for a good pad for rear brakes? > > thanks > Are you asking or telling? > > Stick with Nissan pads which are very good and you won't have any > Good advice. Use anything else and you'll be using your car as a -beta testbed-.  SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com I agree. I used what were supposed to be good aftermarket pads (sorry, I forget the manufacturer) and they are wearing faster and produce far most dust than the Nissan pads. > > Are you asking or telling? > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Good advice. Use anything else and you'll be using your car as a -beta > testbed-. Of course... it depends heavily on how you want to drive the car... full performance? moderate performance? street racing? regular crusing? I think there are pad formulations for every type of driving. BuddyWh >looking for a good pad for rear brakes? > >thanks I am looking for recommendations for a good pad for rear brakes? I need to replace the rear pads on my 2000 Nissan Maxima SE, auto, 80,000 miles ( orig pads) very moderate driver, no fast starts, no fast stop ( unless required) lots of big city driving.. regular type driving, I would say. thanks in advance. :) Raybestos... available at most better auto parts stores... their QS (Quiet Stop) line has performed very well on several of my vehicles, but I have yet to replace the brakes on my Maxima. They aren't performance pads so the don't squeal (if properly installed) and offer full braking power on first stop, but they will noticeably fade after two or three high speed stops in quick succession. If fade resistance is important to you, then you may want to move into the performance categories, in which case Axxis pads are suggested. They (the QS pads) also have very good low-dust qualities; as good or better than the OEM pads I replaced with them in almost every case.

I put them on the front of my wife's van and while they are definitely quieter than the fleet-mets I had on there before , it has a much softer pedal feel and reduced effectiveness compared to the fleet-mets. when these wear out again I'm going back to the fleet-mets. I'll live with the noise in return for better stopping. just my .02 Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Please sure to visit Our websites www.classiccarsprings.com for classic car parts www.internetautomart.com for non- classic car parts Or check out our ebay auctions user id INTERNETAUTOMART > Raybestos... available at most better auto parts stores... their QS > (Quiet Stop) line has performed very well on several of my vehicles, [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > lots of big city driving.. regular type driving, I would say. > >thanks in advance. :) >The raybestos "QS" are a low metallic ceramic enhanced pad.

But since I only did that when I wanted to, I wasn't too concerned. I tried a set of Axxis pads (metal master, I think, but I could be wrong) on the Acura. I was amazed at how hard I had to press to get good braking... until they got warm. Then they stopped like crazy, with excellent feel and modulation. Only problem was, I couldn't drive that way... keeping the pads hot, I mean... in every day driving. So I had to take them off. Putting performance pads on a street drive may sound great, but in practice it just doesn't hack it for me. BuddyWh |
