Does anyone know who manufactures the Nismo pads. I thought it might be hawk? can anyone confirm this?

 

I thought it was Ferrodo or whatever they are called.

 

does anyone have any experience with these. I dont want to lose the bite i have with the oem pads, but i cant stand the dust. I have hawk hps on the rear and the bite sux, until they are hot.

 

I'm pretty sure Hawk does not make them.

 

Don't confuse marketing companies [and their doubling or tripling or quadrupling of price markups] with actual manufacturers of pads.

Don't confuse the packaging [box] and printer with manufacturer.

Most manufacturers wholesale pads for $10 to <$15 per 4 pads.

Research: Wellman Products Group of Ohio..... marketed as HAWK

The above 90 page listings show the 5 digit manfacturers code and 6 digit exact friction code for friction material.

This is how insurance investigators can prove you modified brakes from oem specifications! Negligently maintaining your vehicle contributing to the accident that killed/injured the client with WILLFUL disregard for safety.

The friction codes prove that the cold stopping ability might not conform to oem designs...........lab test prove that the defendent choice was negligent...................etc etc never have a lethal accident or you will get first hand experience.

 

well damn thats a mouthful..... So do you know who makes them then????

 

Wtf?

 

What does that have to do with this thread?

 

Yep. Mine were made by ferodo.

 

If you read the codes on the pads and reference the pdf you will find the answer............that more than one company makes Nismo pads depending on compound.

The question is who makes the Ferodo marketing brand most marketeers don't have a factory.............cheaper to just rebrand someone elses compounds copy rather than develop

ok i am comparing nismo to hawk hps. which one is more streetable. i hate the dust but i like the bite of oem. which pad will offer more bite. or better yet, which one has lower operating temps to get good bite?

 

I think the Nismo is a better performing pad all-around, but will cost more than the HPS.
