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 had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).
Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”
Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.
If you want something good get raybestos have them in my 8th gen accord and they are above oem.
Over 600 per axle for brakes seems high. I just ordered Raybestos pads and rotors front and back for 250 total from rock. Learning how to fix your car is like paying yourself.
These cars are notorious for eating rear brakes. The pads are just so small. I get Raybestos on Rockauto.
I installed raybestos and having so many issues with them already feeling warped and noisy brakes.
When we bought our Ford lightening... the sales person told me with a strait face "people think that evs go through less brakes, but really its actually rhe opposite" when trying to sell me a maintenance package...
