Default Are Endless Nuova's the Answer??

Here's what I'm looking for in a replacement pad (in order of importance):

1. No/low noise
2. Grip at least as good as OEM pads
3. Low dusting
4. Price
5. Longevity

My plan will be to turn the stock (non-brembo) rotors. Other than their high price, are Endless Nuova's the best for my application (never on the track)?

Thanks.

from what I hear they are excellent pads and probably meet your needs very well. You could also look into the EBC Red Stuff Pads.

I would take the "no brake dust" comment with a grain of salt. It dusts, just not as badly as stock.

Does Nismo only offer the R-tune pads? If so, are these designed for the street? Nismo's marketing info says they compromise street civility for track performance.

if you are looking for endless pads we can get you a killer deal in terms of pricing..
also the vita nuova are a very good entry level pad for those that do nothing to extreme like track.
great for daily and spirited driving.

How does the brake dust compare to OEM? Basically, I want to switch out the OEM front pads to something that performs the same, but doesn't put out any dust. Do the Endless pads on the front put out less dust than the OEM pads on the rear?

Please PM me with a price.

the oem pads are notorious

Endless Vn and SSS pads are great they don't dust much compared to stock
also is very rotor friendly.

So if I get the Endless VN on the fronts, will they dust less than the OEM rears? Or even if its about the same, that's cool. Because right now, my front SF Winnings look gunmetal after about 3-4 days, and the rears remain Mercury Silver! lol

Anyways, please PM me a price, front only. Actually also PM me about the rears as well.

95 for the front or rear
or 180 for both.

I would have to say it makes less dust than the rear.
