hey all!

my mechnic said i need new rear brake pads.

would i need to change the front pads too?

im looking at endless and project mu pads, they go around 150.

do you guys think its OVERKILL for daily driving? and will it eat into the rotors?

would you guys have any suggestions on what pads are good?

THANK YOU!

Endless / Project MU would be great, but make sure you upgrade the rotors as well.

Or you will end up chewing through your rotors.

You could question a set of DBA 4000 Series Rotors with your mechanic first as they look like a decent upgrade just for street use.

Consider QFM A1RMs, they are a good bang for buck pad that you can use daily right up to moderate track work :)

Depending of the thickness of your existing rotors you MAY be able to get away with just machining them, but rotors aren't that expensive anyway Click here for example pricing

Personally, I love my Project Mu HC+s... but they are dusty, noisy, pricey, not fantastic cold and eat rotors :laugh:

If you're not doing any track work I think you'll be better off with QFM HPX.

From everything I've heard A1RMs chew rotors quite a bit which is fine if you need great braking for track but probably not needed for street.

Call the guy at GLSRallysport (forum trader) & see what he suggests...

HPXs are cheap too at $80 per set

That should do you fine just for daily / street.

But for a peace of mind, I just went OEM Nissan pads and from memory they were about $120.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
