Re: Nismo pads for V (bluev)
I saw your other thread regarding these and everyone's responses as to whether they'd be a benefit or not.
Have you actually tried them yet and what do you think?

Re: Nismo pads for V (reyes1212)
For those that have squeaking brake pads read the following article.
"Some brands of semi-metallic pads are inherently noisier than others because of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the friction material. Think of it this way, the longer life pads or pads that claim to have more stopping power usually contain more metallic material. Yes, they will last longer and could enhance braking but the chance of causing a squeal noise is very high. The squealing noise that might be caused from use of these pads does not affect braking performance and does not indicate a brake problem".
"Brake squeal is caused by vibration between the brake pads, rotors, and calipers. Having the brake rotors refinished or trued (machining a small layer of the metal away from the brake rotor to make it smooth and "true" again) and a thin layer of a silicone compound placed on the back of the brake pads are a great way to reduce the squeal if the semi-metallic pads are the culprit of the noise and not due to a worn out brake pad".
NISMO brake pads are made for them and are not made by NISMO so you can also get brake pads from Hawk which we use on our race car and my street cars and they have different compounds for street performance to full race. I can get them but do not have them on the website because I would need to know what are you going to do with them performance wise.
Hope this clears up a few things about brakes.
