Default Nismo R-Tune brake pads

Anyone use these pads for a daily driver? My stock brembo pads are going to be gone soon and id like something low-dust with equal, if not better bite than OEM.

I had the NISMO's and they did very well on street and some track abuse. Less dust than OEM(that isn't saying much) and better bite.

I have Project Mu B-Force pads which I like a lot, better than oe Brembos with a lot less dust but sometimes sketchy when temps are really cold. I might try the Nismo R-Tune pads next since I hear good things about them.

NISMO R-Tune pads are awesome! I run them on my BREMBO's and have tracked them as well and they held up fine. No brake fade.

I am looking into getting a set of Nismo pads.

Are they suitable for daily driving in winter/snow conditions?

They are good pads. But they are very expensive compared to other 'street' pads IMO.

seems like just about all good street pads are noisy
well except hawk hps - which absolutely suck IMO as far as bite and stopping ability

My NISMO pads were not noisy at all. Did you do the proper bedding procedure?
