As I'm coming up to a brake pad change and the rotors have lots of life in them I'm wondering what others have installed as pad replacements or new pad/rotor sets. Have most stayed with OEM or gone to upgraded pads such as GreenStuff 7000 or others and how are those holding up when mated up with the Nissan OEM rotors.

Have any here tried Porterfield pads and would they last as a set when mated with new cryo-treated hardened OEM rotors or should rotors be changed for something harder;

Glad you ask. I am approaching the same issue on my wife's Pathfinder. I have had the same questions.

i'm actually in the 1mm area on my pad thickness right now so im real real close to replacement... i am, however thinking about just regular oem since i might just go to the dealer to have them replaced. but if anyone has a real nice relatively low cost upgrade, i might do it myself...

i just installed some green suff's on mine..seems to do a little better but brake dust is bad at first.. i have a set of rears new in box for sale
