Brake pads Raybestos or OEM Nissan

Have had very good experiences with Raybestos Element 3. Excellent price as well.

With a 20% off coupon, it was only $40 more than the other shop, and I got OEM parts. That was almost 3 years ago, and the brakes are still stopping smooth.

I really liked my Raybestos pads

I did the raybestos element 3 pads and coated rotors on my 2018 rogue and my wife’s Ford Escape. Very pleased and affordable on Rockauto

I bought raybestos ceramic pads and di it myself for $35. The new pads are quiet and have 30,000 miles on them with no significant wear and about 80% less dust.

I've bought Honda brakes for my 09 Accord several years ago, perfect fit and function. go with name brand, doesn't have to be top tier but OEM is a good starting point. I've just always gone with Raybestos for all my cars

Some prices I don't know how they pull off. I got both front rotors for my Armada for $70. Added Raybestos pad set for $13. I've put around 6000 miles on my new brakes and haven't had a moment of noise or issue.

Nissan brakes are on this squeak train as well. We barely have a remedy for it, other than ‘regreasing’ them. I tell my customers that the pads are designed with materials for better braking and less dust, at the cost of noisy brakes when cold.

i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.

I've used Raybestos before on VW GTI. They had a distinct feel and reminded me of... Literally every other set of brake pads I've ever used. Just save your money bro.
