FYI, I got them from Rockauto.com for $53.20 per set, including shipping and using a 5% discount code. The 06 has Raybestos Professional Series Advanced Technology brake rotors I got from Rockauto and the 08 has Wagner rotors I picked up from Federated Auto Parts. I had genuine Nissan pads on the 06 for awhile, which are ceramic type, but had a low speed squeal issue that kept coming back no matter how many times I cleaned up the pads and lubed the backing plates and guides with copper grease...but didn't have any dust issues with them, either.
With any set of new brake pads, you should take it easy the first hundred miles or so to let them break in. New pads should be broken in on new or resurfaced rotors for best results.08PathPounder wrote:Just ordered the akebono pro act pads front and rear from tire rack for 108 shipped.
Rockauto only had the rear set in stock so rather than purchase from two different vendors I just went with tire rack
2008 Pathy S
Front pads were $61.00
Rear pads were $47.00
Their coming from Delaware to NJ, should only be a few days before they get here.. Does any one know if there's a break in period for these? Putting them on stock rotors that have 65k on them but aren't warped and have plenty of life. Should easily last me until the next set of pads.
