I have a new 05 350z and like most of you guys know the stock front break pads suck when it comes to break dust. I'm getting tired of washing my car every week just because my two front wheels are coverd with break dust. I was thinking of getting the nismo break pads cause i heard that it does not release as much dust. Would that be ok if i just get one pair for the front wheels and leave the rear wheels with the stock pads? or should i just buy all 4? does it metter?

i ran the nismos up front with oem in the rear for a while. no problems
the nismos didnt dust as much but they did dust somewhat. most non oem pads wont dust as much, but with that said "i never looked at my nismos and said man i cant believe how clean theve kepy my wheels"
so if brake dust is your main concern, then there are CHEAPER and less dust producing pads than the nismos out there

I bought hawk hps up front only.
Comparing them to oem, it probably takes over a 3-4 weeks of driving to make your wheels look like they did with oem pads in a day or two.
Since the rear brakes don't do that much work, i don't see a need to replace those.

I just ordered the Hawk S(street) front and rear for $160CDN (before tax). Heard good things about them. Less dust and "virtually no" noise.
I'm more interested in the "virtually" no noise part because my front cheap after-market brake pads are driving me crazy with it's noise.
The place I ordered it from showed me a online price of $116CDN for the rear and $124CDN for the front. So I think $160CDN for both front and rear is a good deal. Only heard good things about the Hawks.

I got my Hawk pads from Raceshopper.com. Fronts for $60 and Rear for $56.
Very little dust and only minor noise.

I'm not in the states so the rear and front plus shipping(30usd) would be $146USD which = 172CDN. My local shop can get them in in 3 days. And there is a chance I might get dinged at the border and they charge me duty. I paid an extra $45 duty on my popcharger >_<;; Might as well have ordered it locally.
I was nearly about to order the oem brake pads which is $114CDN which had no noise but then the dust is annoying.
Can't wait to get the order in.
