I've had my car for 6 months--been to 5 track events and the most recent one was pretty rough on my brakes. I just ordered new pads because I need them.

WARNING - Brembo pads last much longer than the non-Brembo brake pads. My rears were gone after two track events. I had to drive from OK to Dallas with nothing but metal on the rears.

You're right. I was actually shocked to see that I still have enough pad left to last me plenty of time, street driving. I should get my pads this weekend, but I'm going to wait until next weekend to change everything out.

Speed, what pads are you getting for your track? Inquiring orientals want to know......

The rears on mine were pretty much gone after two days at Laguna Seca (that was about 12,000 miles ago).

My second set of rears hasn't seen any track days and is still good, and my first set of fronts are still good.

I'm @ 22,000 miles now.

Hawk HP Plus Sport Pads--front and rear. I want to get the braided lines soon, but I don't have the cash flow right now.

How long should the stock pads last with normal everyday city driving, and no track visits?

So is it true that the Nismo pads are just rebadged Hawk HP+ pads? I thought I remember someone posting this awhile back.

Thanks for the "Post"! Back to the Vendors. Found Hawk HP Plus before my "Post", but will keep looking for "Sport Pad". Not everyone shows front and rear. Perhaps they are for your "Track" and not available for the "Tour". Will look and PM you if I can find!
