Stillen Metal Matrix Brake Pads?
I was recommended to buy some Stillen Metal Matrix pads for 95% street driving and 5% AutoX. No high speed track racing.
Anyone tried these out? Reviews?
They are pretty reasonably priced at about $50 for front or rear.

I just ordered them today. They were recommended to me by a Nissan Service manager. He claims you get much less dust and same or better brake performance as the OEMs.
While on the phone with Stillen I also got a set of Goodridge SS Brake Lines. The 6 hose kit. He offered to me at cost, so what the heck...
So with shipping is all $312 and I do to my brakes all I wanted. I am a daily (spirited, street) driver with no track time so going to rotors, etc seemed like overkill and overspending.

Complete Junk. I had them on my sentra before. I replaced my first set within 3 months, 2nd set in another 3 months. They had a lot of dusting and a lot of noise.
Finally I switched to Endless Pads, and was so happy with the purchase of the Endless pads. The dusting was pracitally absent, noise was next to none, and the pedal feel was nice and stiff. If your looking for brake stuff get endless. You can even see the difference between the two pads. The stillen pads had a lot of metal in it (Very cost effective for manufacturing) as well as a lot of pits. The Endless Pads were smooth and much denser without the metallic. Good stuff.
I think thier website is www.endlessusa.com
Oh as far as Stillen...the name should be Stealin, they make junk and are expensive. You think you'd pay so much for an exhaust, you wouldn't think it would rust on you. Also they do have a bad rap with Better Business Bureau.
