Who here uses Duralast brake pads?

How do they feel when stopping the car ?
Were the pads very easy to replace ?
Ceramic or Semi-M. ?

If you have an 03-04 use oem and put up with the dust. If you have an 05+ use oem because you probably won't find a better performing street pad. The car stops at a world class dist of around 111 ft from 60-0. Exactly why would you want to mess with that by using some aftermarket pad with no test data? You ice skate uphill?

If you don't track car, OEM pads are your best bet. Cheap, too, just call Tony at Riverside Infiniti.

Duralast is an autzone brake pad..

I used to buy them for my previous cars, but as I got more into performance I then used oems or Hawks. Hawks pads are always well known for every vehicle

Yes use search, but i think these posts detract from the feeling of a community when everyone just yells at you for posting a question. You don't have to open the thread, the title is clear. I've been on many forums and I've never seen "use search" more than I have on here.

Maybe they're basic questions for some, but others they're important.

all imo

I put AKEBONO Proact pads on my G Coupe and love them!

Had crappy Nissan pads on it when I bought it used and the produced tons of black dust and squealed like a pig.

I would stay clear of OEM.

My G Sedan has only 34K miles and the rotors are warped!!! Pads are OK.
Going to replace the rotors and pads (Akebono) this summer.
Hoping the ceramics will keep the rotors from warping.
Was considering Hawks, but kept seeing mixed reviews on noise and dust.

Oh, I did put CMax pads on the rear of the G Sedan and they have been fine.
