Brake pads EBC or Raybestos
P.S. I run more aggressive and dusty brake pads - EBC Yellow Stuff
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
Since most pads won't even get that close to the edge, i wouldn't have thought twice about mounting it. Sure, i would check if it IS touching, but i really doubt it.
Front brakes and tyres you can replace if you feel they are not adequate. I replaced Tyre to protorq extreme and front pad to ebc fa209hh
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.
I drive a Twingo rs at the moment, with ebc yellow brakes and they are fine enough for the money. Also had them on my previous car a turbo mx5 and they did the job.
I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.
They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.
EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
I burned through a set of EBC brakes, they dont last long and they have a lot more dust than ceramic Brembo pads.
