Hawk Brake Pads 2 Comments »

I need to buy new break pads for my 350z but I dont really know much about brake pad brands…I checked ebay and they have: hawk, stoptech and other brands that are fairly cheap but i dont know if they are good brands.
What is a good brand to buy? i’m not looking for cheapy brake pads or crazy expensive just a good decent brand that works well. Thanks

cheap and good Brake Pads from centrics. warner is a good brand too. whatever you do, do not buy from autozone. their brake pads sucks.

Which of these brake pads would you get, that will work on the street and stop better then most cars?

I tried the EBC brakes but they fell apart and started metal on metal grinding after a year.

I have had good luck with the hawk hps so far but with the great level of braking achieved im not sure if this time I should go with hp plus that is suitable for track use it might brake too much or too fast for a stock vehicle.

I know some of you might think its crazy but I like good brakes and the hps have a smooth pedal effort that is controllable but stop more then on a dime, so I was wondering if going to a race level would be too much for the street.

`You listed an EBC brake that "fell apart". Why not take time to list the specific EBC brake you had trouble with?

The second pad you listed would stop better under most conditions at the expense of eating-up your brake rotors. It seems you have to decide to drive sanely with the first brake pad or feed the car rotors every time the pads wear out with your second choice.

Performance Friction has a brand new metallic, ceramic, carbon pad that will stop better than any Hawk pad. Again at the cost of brake rotor wear.

Looking to replace my Brake Pads and am currently looking at 3 options. Any thoughts, opinions, better ideas. Looking for minimal noise, increased rotor life, low dust… use for everyday driving.
1. Hawk HPS: High Performance street
2. Hawk PC: Performance Ceramic
3. Project U NS Street Pads

Try going to an Infiniti dealership and asking what they recommend. They will make sure that you get the best pads for your application
