Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Nissan

I like the Ferodo DS2500 for street/canyons, tho I find they’re pretty dusty.

If you have 312 mm front rotors I'd suggest to upgrade to FER-FCP4433G

DS3.12 pads https://www.brakes-shop.com/fer-fcp4433g-ferodo-ds3-12-brake-pads-front.html and Motul 600 / 660 brake fluid (or Castrol React SRF).

With this setup you will be limited by your tyres and suspension.

Don't buy DBA rotors and pads or EBC pads. You will destroy them (like crack in pieces).

Don't run with OEM fluid or pads \u2014 you will definitely lose stopping power relatively early on.

Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.

DS2500’s were the best hybrid pads I’ve used. But I only did 1-2 a year.

Gt4 brake pads ran me about 1000-1100 for ferodo ds3.12.

I’ve got an 06 350z, driven it for a year put only 5k miles but, had no problems. I also own an 05 g35 with the same DE engine and it’s got 135k and never had any major problems, and I’ve put over 110k of those miles on that car. No major repairs..1 air bag recall, I redid the clutch at 125k, had to rewire the trunk to work, and I replaced a window motor. Nothing else but, oil changes, brake jobs and battery changes. Both cars are fun to drive, and being as old as they are they cost me very little to maintain, insure, and pay minimal amount for property tax. For some perspective. Next week i’m doing the front and rear brakes on the Z. It’s gonna cost about $65-70 for parts.

Ferrodo DS2500 is probably the best dual duty pad.

22' with 45k miles and no issues besides a bad battery at the beginning they replaced and brakes don't last much longer than 20-25k miles.

Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.

If im being completetly honest. A nissan gtr nismo. I had a track day for my highschool graduation, the breaks on it didnt feel the best.
