Brake pads TRW or OEM Nissan

TRW Brake pads

If you want comfort, use an OE supplier (TRW, Textar, pagid), if you want more performance at the cost of some added noise/dust, Ferodo/hawk/EBC

Pros: comfort with OE supplier
Cons: noise/dust with performance brands

TRW Brake pads

When I bought one of my cars used I immediately noticee the brakes felt horrible. As in they didnt feel like they wanted to stop. Its almost like when your slowing down and coming up on the car infront you expect your car to slow down faster than it is right now. So you oush down harder and harder and you get maybe 10% more braking.  Yeah. Swapped those pads out for some street performance pads. Night and day difference. The brakes actually work now. Good initial bite and good modulation.

Pros: Good initial bite
Cons: brakes felt horrible

OEM Nissan Brake pads

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

Cons: brakes need replacement early
Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder
Mileage: 48000 km
