Thumbs up Project Mu B-Force Brake Pad

I got sick and tired of the massive amounts of brake dust coming off the stock pads. I had no problems with them other than the fact that they are just incredibly messy. After reading a few reviews of various pads I decided to give these pads a try.

Part: Project Mu B-Force Brake Pad
Vendor: ProjectNissan.com
Price: $180 for both front and rear
Install: Easy

Install was a joke with the Brembos, basically just pop out the retainer pins and old pads, compress the brake pistons as necessary, and pop in the new pads. I just used the stock jack on each wheel and also cleaned the insides of the wheels and calipers while I had things apart.

These pads grab suprisingly well even at slower speeds. I've only had them on a few weeks, and they did their share of squealing until I did a proper bedding. Now they are completely silent, and I have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of dust collecting on my rims. These pads also seem to hold up longer after heavy braking as compared to the stock brakes.

Bottom line, better performance than the stock pads without the mess. Excellent upgrade.

Agreed. I have the front and had my front rotors machined and they grip excellent with no squeal whatsoever. Excellent pads!

+1 I finally got my first long road trip under my belt since installing the Project Mu NS pads. I drove from LI to Atlantic City for HIN (about 2 - 2.5 hrs). Normally my wheels would be black before I got out of NY but to my surprise the wheels were clean upon load in at the convention center and I didn't have much to clean! In addition, what little dust there was, was silver in color and didn't even show! Stopping is as good as I remembered when I first got the car with Brembos. The only squeeling I got was when the car was cold. The first initial stops squeeked a bit but I still haven't gotten around to bed them yet. After a few stops the squeeks are gone anyway! GREAT PADS!

Um... the first thing your supposed to do with new brakes is bed them... like the absolute first thing.... if your driving around for a few days and then you bed them, you've defeated the purpose of bedding.... read the manual that came with them (hopefully, my hawks did) and youll understand why.
