Project Mu, or Hawk HPS. Project Mu is expensive, but well worth every penny.

I just received my Project-Mu pads like an hour and a half ago from UPS (bought @ projectnissan.com). I plan on installing them here soon. I'll let you know my first impressions if you'd like.

As far as price goes, they don't seem any more expensive then any other pads IMO. Got my front brembo pads for $93.

Remember, low-dust pads will not have as good initial (cold) braking performance as the Brembos because they are higher temp pads. This is good for avoiding brake fade, but comes at a price. If you live in a warm climate, it shouldn't be a big deal, but when it rains, you'll notice a bit slower initial response.

I've tried out the EBC Greenstuff pads before, and they certainly did cut down on the amount of dust compared to the stock pads. Others have reported good success with Hawk HPS pads as well [what I currently now have in my front].

Project Nissan told me that the NS are for street and the Bforce are for track use. He said that the Bforce will wear down the rotors faster. Has anyone installed the Project Mu NS pads? How well do they work? Any noises?

The B-Force pads are a little more aggressive then the NS pads, but they are hardly track pads!! Here is a chart to give you a little better idea of where the Project-Mu pads stand

thats cool. glad to hear blazin. My problem with the install is that I don't have any of the necessary tools. Is there anyone in the South Bay (310) area that would want to help me w/the install and do a little of our own blazin?????
