I’ve had this exact set on a track day/daily driver…they will not fully bed in for like 300-500KM, trust me. After that, they feel like the hand of God stopping the car.
the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.
I've been more than happy with EBC Red Stuff pads - they hold up well to spirited mountain drives when I take my trips to AVF and Wookies each year, but have no downsides for daily driving duties. If tracking the car, you'll want something substantially more aggressive though.
Akebono ceramic brake pads on RockAuto. Done, easy. They're an OG Japanese OEM, so you can expect consistency in quality. They're expensive but they're good and if you're going to get down on your knees and pop the wheels off you might as well do it right and get powerful and silent braking power for your trouble.
On these cars Akebono is as good or better than OEM with far less dust.
Ran a kit of EBC brakes, green stuff i think on my old Mazda 6. Was a pretty decent upgrade over OEM and not much more expensive.
Another vote for EBC red. Have had them on my MK7.5 GTI and Porsche 991 C2S and very happy. Good initial bite and low dust as a bonus. Great for street but would consider Yellow if doing track days.
I used EBC yellow stuff. A little loud but great pads.
Have EBC redstuffs on rear wheels of my XF 25t. Good breaking, silent, but now at half pad started to make a lot of dust (much more then genuine factory fitted Jag pads still at the front) so I will change them when the time comes and go back to Jag pads.
If you’re going to run lap after lap they don’t hold up.
