Brake pads OEM Nissan or OEM Audi
Reviews
They quoted me $8k for standard brakes on my RS5. Bought all the parts myself for $2600 and did it myself ????
Pros: did it myself
Cons: expensive dealer quote
Vehicle:
Audi RS5
I'd like to add brake jobs are fairly simple too. The front pads in my 2016 Q5 were the easiest of any car I've ever owned.
Pros: fairly simple, easiest ever
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Brakes and rotors at 30K miles??? I just replaced mine on my 2016 A4 at 75K and the still had plenty of wear left. Yes, I drive aggressively too.
Pros: plenty of wear left
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 75000 km
OEM pads and rotors for brakes
OEM gave me 140k miles with stock setup, but only about 60k with Titan swap, wider stance, more weight
Pros: long lasting stock setup
Cons: less mileage after swap
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 140000 km
No. Looks perfectly normal.

I’ve got an 06 350z, driven it for a year put only 5k miles but, had no problems. I also own an 05 g35 with the same DE engine and it’s got 135k and never had any major problems, and I’ve put over 110k of those miles on that car. No major repairs..1 air bag recall, I redid the clutch at 125k, had to rewire the trunk to work, and I replaced a window motor. Nothing else but, oil changes, brake jobs and battery changes. Both cars are fun to drive, and being as old as they are they cost me very little to maintain, insure, and pay minimal amount for property tax. For some perspective. Next week i’m doing the front and rear brakes on the Z. It’s gonna cost about $65-70 for parts.
Pros: no major problems, low maintenance cost
Cons: clutch replacement, trunk wiring, window motor
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 5000 km
As a good example, we were surprised to learn that the brakes were shot at just 33k miles. A quote to replace everything with OEM was insanely expensive... around $6k if I recall correctly.
Pros: premium vibe
Cons: brakes shot at 33k
Vehicle:
Audi SQ7
Mileage: 33000 km
Brake dust- so much brake dust.
Cons: so much brake dust
Vehicle:
Audi S4
they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
Cons: extra squeak
Had to get all brake pads done 22k miles in. Brake still makes a sound when released could be bushings but not a major enough issue yet to replace.
Cons: brake pads replaced early, brake noise
Vehicle:
Nissan Pathfinder
Mileage: 22000 km
