Need New Brake Pads

[young br3ad]

I have a 2007 Nissan Maxima and I need new front and back brakes...

What are the best brand of brake pads to get???

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Why not just get OEM replacements?

if you bring it to the shop and your brake pads are metal to metal, look at paying 500 bucks. I let me brakes dwindle to the point that it was metal to metal and it cost me that much. %%%# i did it twice and you would think i would learn from the first time.

I don't know much about it... That's why I was asking... I got this dude at a dealership thats going to put them on for me but I didn't know which ones to get....

Any idea of a place to cop at a good price???

Yeah I know. Mine aren't to that point yet. Dude at the dealership was changing my oil and he told me I need new brakes. He said he would put them on for $40 if I buy the pads.

Don't go to the dealer

Find yourself a good ol' school independent shop

The dude thats doin it works at a dealer... But he does side work on saturdays at the dealership... I went last weekend and he changed my oil there for $10... That's why I'm just going to scoop the brake pads myself and let him do it...

Yessir. I found a lil' joint last year and got some ceramics on the cheap.

jack+wrench set+brake pads = $75
I change my own brakes, you should too. Its not that hard

Hawk or EBC....I think I would go with Hawk once mine need changing.
