I want to swap out pads on my 07 nismo to a more aggressive pad but not sure where the oem pads stand and what compound they consist of any help?

 

don't post double threads.

 

XP8, EBC red , Ferodo 2500 and many others will be a bit more aggressive.

 

Factory nismo pads are not very aggressive. They feel like most OEM pads, have a soild initial bite but can't do much more than that and overheat with any hard use.

I switched up to a set of Hawk HPS's for street use, i've run them on other cars and always like them and I have no complaints on the Z either.

 

I use Cobalt Friction's hardcore racing pads like the XR2 on my race Z. Also like their GT-Sport street/track compound in the past, but I think they have new product now.

 

Thanks guys. I realized after first post there was a brake/suspension area.
