Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP
I did the tsx upgrade with power stop all around and stainless lines. My element stops on a dime.
the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.
Akebono ceramic brake pads on RockAuto. Done, easy. They're an OG Japanese OEM, so you can expect consistency in quality. They're expensive but they're good and if you're going to get down on your knees and pop the wheels off you might as well do it right and get powerful and silent braking power for your trouble.
On these cars Akebono is as good or better than OEM with far less dust.
On mine I just swapped everything to the powerstop extreme pads. 2000 miles on the car. Absolutely silent and dust free. Definitely do the rears as well.
changed to power stop z26 pads while keeping the oem brembo rotors on my 2019 jeep srt, all is good and 1/3 of the price
On my ‘18 Scat (Charger) with 6-piston fronts, I changed to the powerstop fronts at 16k, didn’t touch the rears. At 40k now, no regrets, no incessant squealing, no dust.
Go with powerstop for sure. I bought their complete front and rear kit with drilled slotted rotors, bigger bore calipers, z23 performance padsand braided steel lines. Cost me about 800 dollars but if you want just the fronts that's an insanely good price for the front kit even if it doesn't include calipers.Powerstop is the only brand I see in your picture lineup that actually is performance driven.For the record as well I bought the kit 3 years ago and it's been solid I just replaced front and rear pads a couple months ago for the first time and the pads were perfectly even. Haven't had one issue in about 35k miles of driving.
Just changed mine at 65k for first time. Went with powerstops non slotted and happy so far. I loved my oem brakes and the amount of life I got out of them.
I replaced the original textar brake pads last fall with Akebono ceramic pads and things work fine. But with the good weather I have the window down and can hear a clicking sound only when braking. It’s not a CV joint click and it only clicks under braking load when the pads are warm.
