Brake!!!!!!

I know it's common for us '03 Coupes......but my mothertruckin' brakes wear out faster than Paris Hilton's music career. Oh yea, i am a little upset given that i changed my brakes a year ago...yes they are oem brake pads.

Anyway....i want some advice.....What's the best brake pads that lasts the longest for our beloved vehicle??? Oh, and do keep in mind that economically friendly is a characteristic i might be looking at as well...haha. Thanks folx.

I actually think Paris' music is the best thing she did so far. It's much better than her acting or modeling career. On another note, brake wear is almost entirely dictated by your driving style. Stop flooring it and then slamming on the brakes in the last second. Calm down behind the wheel, give yourself some room, get your foot off the gas way before you have to slow down, downshift if possible, and you'll be good for 20-30K miles if not more. I don't have anything against spirited driving, as long as it's safe, but don't complain later that this or that wears out quick and that your car has low mpg numbers. Take care and good luck.

Hawks are wonderful! I got a set of those with some oem stoptechs, and it made my brakes less touchy.

i have the hawks as well. now only if i can rewind time and replace them the day i bought the car, this way my wheels wouldn't be stained. better yet, if i could only rewind time and buy a lexus or bmw instead. or maybe in the future infiniti should stop putting out a crap product.
