which break pads ?

[TiNTiN]

ok i got to replace my front brake pads..im just not sure which ones to get and how much will it cost and were can i get some im from melb...

i hear the screetching sound of the front breaks every time i break so i guess i have to replace my breaks soon....

any help ?

I'm using bendix advance pads, a great "all round" brake pad, good for day to day, an can handle a little "enthusiastic" driving. Mine used to screetch aswell.....must have been a poor quality pad, I tried everything form anti-squeel on the pads to cutting 2 hacksaw blade width grooves into them. usually went for a bit, but always came back.

But i've had no drama's with the Bendix Advance's, I think the more performance one are Bendix Ultimates? supposably better for "lots" of enthusiastic driving

The cause of most screeching is the discs...

Changing the pads solves the problem for a while until the discs wear into the pads, recreating the noise.

Usually, high performance brake pads dont last as long as normal ones.. just like tyres. They're softer and cause more friction. You've gotta make a decision; performance over life or vice versa

Just for a quick fix I use bendix advance on the fronts too. They're not bad, have good pedal feel, are dead silent and didnt fade to all hell like the stock Nissan pads did after a fang through the hills. But they left black marks on my rotor. Suppose I heated them up a fair bit..

Also they dont dust much. BUT they arent a high performance pad so if you fang your car lots, you need something better like Ultimates/RB74s/Ferodo DS2500s/EBC Green V4s.

i also have this problem, even after changing to dba4000, but only screaches on the front, so a few ppl i know are running winmax pads on the front and are quite pleased with the reasult...i might give that a go...
