Which ones do you guys recommend? Why?

Thanks!

(I have an '03 Touring A/T)

 

i heard greenstuff doesnt preform to well, but alot less dust. i havent heard anything on nismo pads, but i heard Hawk HPs are good.

 

I like the Hawks. Greenstuff are basically the same. Not sure about the Nismo's though.

$70 for the Hawks or Greenstuff's.

 

Where can I get some Hawks??

 

You can get Hawks from Zeckhausen Racing.

I think the NISMOs are Hawks. And the people around here say they squeak a lot.

 

Go with the Hawks, I have them on both my Z and the wifes G....happy with them on both cars.

 

My Hawks HPS will be here by Friday..ordered them from www.tirerack.com $70 shipped.

 

I changed out the stock front pads on my 04' roadster because I was way too tired of washing my ADR M-Sport Wheels every 35 miles or so. I went with the Greenstuff pads from Courtesy Nissan $69.00 and have never been happier. I washed my wheels right after changing the pads and have not had to wash them yet and I have driven the car for over 400 miles of city/highway. It is like night and day. In addition, they have not squeeked one single time since changing them. I have played around a little and have gotten them hot enough to squeek if they were going to. The greenstuff pads do not come with anti-rattle shims and you have to remove the old ones and put them on your new pads. Also, make sure you buy some of that anti-squeal liquid to brush on the shims and on the area that comes into contact with the piston.

Just my 2 cents..........Happy Motoring

 

I've had the GreenStuff pads on my car now for about 7,000 miles and they need to be replaced.

I like the brake feel a LOT. It's WAY better than stock. And there's almost ZERO brake dust; my only complaint is they don't last very long if you're an aggressive driver that's hard off/on the brakes/throttle a lot (I am; I like to have fun as much as possible ).

Even though I didn't get much mileage out of them, I'll probably buy 2 sets this time (set for the rear too).

I really liked the feel of them a lot.

 

If you're the type of person that don't drive hard or race your car, EBC is good. I have used it for about 6k miles now and never have to deal with brake dust at all.
But...if you plan to hit the track, do not get the EBC. I cooked my pad yesterday racing my car at Thunder Hill. After 3-4 laps, it faded so bad I thought I was going to run into the wall.
EBC is coming off as soon as I have enough for big brake kit (hopefully pretty soon). Mean while, I think I'm going to get the Hawk.
