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 bought KVR carbon fiber brake pads....not sure what those will feel like. All I know was that they were bloody expensive

 

so what breaks should i buy? breaks that do not dust as much but of course also good at the same time?

 

endless sss brake pads.. great grip and low dust.. doesnt sacrifice rotor.

 

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.

 

Hawk HPS

 

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.
