Come on guys, these pasd are new. Havent you purchased pads before. What are you expecting, gold plated show pieces ??

If you are really worried about it, ask the dealer to show you another set and compare.

They are not used...

There are no Piston marks on the backing plates at all...

No marks from the other side of the caliper holding onto the pad...

They just look like the rubber band around the pads broke so they tapped into eachother in shipping to the dealer...

they are perfectly fine...

The only way to tell is to taste it. After that come back and let us know what it taste like.

Now enjoy those pads!

They are my favorite for the OEM calipers...

Make sure you install them on New Rotors or on freshly turned down rotors!

Next time, buy from us! :P

No Doubt!

Jason is being pretty cool with giving advice to you... all consitering that his "shop" didnt supply you with them in the first place...

My respects Jason, you probably dont remember this, but I spoke to you and later purchased a set of Tanabee springs and some Nissan "skyline" decals from you 3 or 4 months ago via PNissan, and everything ended up working just fine, as you had described.

I'd glady do buisness with you and PN in the future.

Regards,
Louis

Do those pads cause a lot of brake dust on the rims like the stockers do?

my lord...everyone getting up in arms over some scratches on the paint? Those pads are 100% NOT USED at all....you can see plain as day from the pictures that they are brand new. Looks like the box has been tossed around a few times.....no better nor worse than the Ferrodo boxes we get at the shop, and even some of the Hawk boxes

It depends on the weight of the item...

Jason,

Since Nismo doesn't really "make" anything, they only rebrand stuff - who actually makes the Nismo pads?
