Sitting at 110,000 and dealership is suggesting the rear brakes be changed. Time for some akebonos!
I got powerstop rotors drilled and slotted from Amazon front and rear for about $300 and some akebono brake pads with the sensors. Probably all in under $500. Did the work myself, pretty easy honestly.
I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.
OEM is never bad for the brakes, Raybestos and EBC are considered some of the best for Xterras, both give you plenty of different options to go with as well. Personally, Raybestos was easy and shipped within a week
Model 1168, Raybestos brakes. The charms inside are a brake rotor and brake pad. Didnt come with a box, but its pretty nice. Anyway, it was totally worth $180..
Raybestos E3 for street use.
They're some of the only cheap semi-metallics around. They work great for the money.
Good pad choice, I only use akebono pads personally. Looks like you have a toyota truck/suv. Same here, great pads.
For pads Akebono is best
I put on Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors about 500 miles ago. Super squeaky with light brake pressure; I'm at the point I want to pull them apart and clean it all then reassemble.
I replaced my brakes with Akebono. But I am not going to buy it again.
