Best brake pads to use?

[sr18de]

I need to change the brake pads. What brake pads should I use? Green stuff, Mintex...??? I also have to machine the rotors, could you suggest where I can go to get this done as well? The car is a Primera.

[Dave]

good ones that come to mind that I have used are GIC and FBL, Italian made and Japan resp.
Mintex is suppoed to be good but never used them.

[sr18de]

where can I get GIC or FBL and @ what cost? What do you use on your car Dave?

[Dave]

GIC is dist. by FT Farfan, ask for Richard Benjamin and tell him Dave sent you
FBL is dist by El Socorro auto
Those are the only ones I have used in recent times

I use Axxis Metal Masters.

For stock rotors you're probably best off using the Nissan OEM pads.

[sr18de]

Thanx guys...are there any other suggestions?

[Bezman]

Project Mu are the best in my books, a lil more pricey than stock...

gotta get them from www.projectnissan.com

they have ones for stock rotors and for aftermarket ones... differnt grade ones, seach google.com for product info.

I use DAISHIN > not sure that's the correct spelling < they work pretty good , better than WAGNER !!

[art n motion]

I would also recommend what Dave advised but try OHK......they work pretty good

[JWT]

OHK is good no complaints so far

[art n motion]

well I use them and they work pretty well...but I had some FBL I was going to install this upcoming weekend but..............

[~Vēġó~]

cyaar complain about the OHK.......

[SLR]

i like the ebc green stuff ....real nice aggressive pad ...might be a lil harsh on stock rotors tho i've tried that before and it worked well

[GA16]

i've used quite a few brands, the best i've used is the original Nissan pads, then GIC then OHK

[Rx]

local b14.....always go with original stuff .........with the foreign, well, I still use DAISHIN....

[allan]

boy i does change disc pads every 2 1/2 months the daishin i fine does cut up your rotor but the wagner does leave it real smooth but the only ting wagner does leave a red dust residue on the rims

[Yeo]

EBC if yuh modded...original Nissan if not.

[dreadman]

i does use de wagner...dat does wuk good an last long

[Bezman]

origianl NISSAN - i think DAIKKIN or soemthing...

[sr18de]

Original Nissan Brakes cost $850 from N&M!!!!!!

[~*SiLvA MeRa*~]

Original Nissan Brakes cost $850 from N&M!!!!!!

they also have a cheaper set made in mexico i think for about half that price..same OEM nissan pads tho .check them

[dragzster]

I use HAWK and OEMs now.

[aR&D]

Bosch are ok on my stock B13 (Gobin's in St. Augustine) and B15 (Mathura's)

[nismotrini]

The Motorist on Arapita Ave. have the original Primera front disc pads for $465.00 and rear for $475.00 last time I cahcked
Give them a call to confirm.

[brakes]

One of the best brakes pads to use is "Elite Graphite / Carbon Fibre " brakes pads .
Advantages :
graphite - polishes rotor disc,prevents morning sickness,
reduces rotor wear

Carbon Fibre - absorbs heat energy thus eliminating brake fade

no noise
long lasting
minimal dusting
superior stopping power

Reference :
Route 2 maxi-taxi association in Trinidad
Winston "tanco" Baboolal - circuit racer ( Evo 3,B13 )

[Skymera]

using OEM foriegn used Hitchi Brakes pads on my b14. its the better than wagner and that waste of time elite...i had a set and it got hard and cracked up plus it wasn;t even cutting.... paid like $20.00 for a pair of foriegn used pads with almost 100 percent life on them
