so yea as the title says need new pads and rotors front and rear . its a 05 le pathy
any aftermarket stuff you guys recommend as the oem stuff seems to be blah?
do not plan on doing it myself but got quoted $600+ today (seems a bit high) from a local place for parts and labor , plan to have the dealer i bought from take a look.
i did get an extended warranty but im pretty sure it wont cover brakes. what should i expect some thing like this to cost on this year pathy? oem vs after market.

I searched on this site, this is the link to 2005 nissan path

these are the same brakes i have on mine they are dimpled and slotted, dont get cross drilled since i used to have cross drilled brembos and i guess our cars are too heavy for cross drilled and mine ended up warping.

i forgot what pads i got, my brakes work extremely well, and i have virtually no brake dust, on my other car which is a 06 sonata LX limited, i guess the place i got it from just replaced the pads, and i detail the car, and in 2 days the rims are dirty as hell, if it got that dusty in my path i think i would have to clean my 20" chrome rims every 15 minutes.

the pads were EBC though but i dont feel like going thru my receipts to find what they were.

Other than all that i definately reccomend the EBC rotors and pads.

i tried searching on here but didn't get much info that's why i asked maybe i just missed the info.
thanks for the info but i dont see a link in your post.
anyhow i am leaning towards ebc after doing some research. although i just really want some "regular" rotors, the ebc premium oem look like they will get the job done without the extra expense, along with the ebc greenstuff pads should work out alright i hope still wondering what the install cost is gonna be .
