Brake pads Raybestos or Hawk Performance
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.
I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0
After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.
The rotors I used are DBA 4000 series T3, and pads are HAWK HPS 5.0
Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.
I have used HPS 5.0 for a long time now. They do dust a decent amount.
I tried Hawk HP+ dual use but they were exactly as people warned. Worst of both worlds.
Didn’t have a great experience with Raybestos…noisy.
