Which would be the best pads to buy (not called Hawk HPS) that come with shims? Any opinion?

 

Endless and Project Mu does not come with shim. Like I said before, just go buy some from Nissan Dealer.

You can try Performance Nissan.

 

i don't think any aftermarket padscome w/ shims other than kragen/pep boy's specials

 

And hawk HPS...

 

Well, its been about a month since I installed Endless Vita Nuova brake pads on my Roadster.

Here is one month summary.

Performance: As I mentioned before Good initial bite. Better bite than stock but little less initial bite than Project Mu B-Force pads. As you press on the brake, bite get better. Very smooth braking

Noise: NONE what so ever. I have not heard a single squeak/noise since I had these pads and its been just over a month.

Dust: Very low so far.

1 month conclusion: This is a great street pads for a person looking for better performance than stock w/o noise or dust. The only down side of thses pads are the PRICE. These pads are little pricey.

 

Any updates?

Also wanted to know if the Nuovo's were any good in the rain, I hear bad things about HPS pads in the rain. Need pads soon, deciding on Endless, Axxis, or Nismo's.

Thanks.

 

I sold my Z few weeks ago but up until I sold my Z, I had no issues what so ever.

NO Squeaks, great performance, NO issues in rain. The only thing about these pads are they are little pricey.

I would try Project Mu NS Pads. I heard they are very good they cost just tad more than HAWK HPS pads.

I do have an update on Rotors from Rotors Pro's on Ebay. They are piece of crap. They were warpped only after about 2 month. I called Rotor Pro's 3 times and left message and they guy never returned my call.
DO NOT BUY ROTORS from ROTOR PROS on Ebay. Like I said before, they are piece of crap and NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

 

old thread but useful... thanks! bump for anybody looking for stock pads replacement. I just ordered some.

 

Haha, very nice thread. You can find Endless pads on our website and we have them in stock!
