they're about $250 + shipping/duties online. I do think some dealerships carry them as they are official nissan/nismo products, so they should be easy to source.

xuperxero - so you are saying they are no good? lots of brake fade? How do they compare to stock? I found the stock pads quite good.

i'm going to mosport this long weekend and need new pads.

i also have the HPS pads in my z now and they were absolutely USELESS for track. lasted 2 laps before they were on fire. if you're only going to be doing street/daily driving, they're okay, but don't bother taking them to the track.

^^ you may want to get a refund and get the HP Plus instead for track. keep in mind it'll wear your rotor down faster tho.

HPS = TOTAL FAIL FOR TRACK, 1 lap and the pad material literally melts. Oh not to mention that they are WORSE than stock
HP+ = OMGFTW, I can hardly tell rotor wear on them even with 8 track days + daily driving.
