It will be very difficult to compare brake wear or 'estimate' how long your brakes would last by comparing to others. There is more to consider than just the type of driving (ie city or highway), it also depends on your driving habits. ie. Drivers who make abrupt stops or drive aggressively will wear out brakes faster.lakota55 wrote:Was just wondering if anyone replaced the front and or back brake pads yet and at what odometer reading, also was the driving mostly city, highway or mix of both....
Wow.. not sure if you all realize this, but you have one HELL of a great leader/moderator in this forum. Philip is awesome! Nice work!philipa_240sx wrote:Most brake pads are catalogued using their FMSI (Friction Materials Standards Institute) number. The FMSI number gives the critical dimensions of the pads (ie backing plate size, thickness, etc) but not the type of friction material used. This allows you to cross reference pads and be sure they will fit. However the FMSI number does not define the properties of the friction material. This will vary between mfgs and the model used.
Anyway, some aftermarket brake mfg's have yet to update thier catalogs, but after some searching I found the FMSI numbers for the Rogue:
Front pads: D1338
Fitment: 2008-11 NISSAN Rogue
Rear pads: D1288
Fitment: 2008 NISSAN Rogue, 2007 INFINITI G35, 2008-07 NISSAN Altima, 2008-07 NISSAN Sentra
I will add this to the FAQ for future reference.

Hey!mstrmstr wrote:AS of this date.. drilled and slotted rotors front and rear are available from several sources.. including ceramic pads.
I bought the rotors cuz they look so cool thru the wheels and are zinc plated for looks and rust prevention too.
I've got 12,000 miles and have changed brakes only for appearance improvement and no brake dust.
STILLEN Front Brake Upgrade2007 - 2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V Part# 30-7120STILLEN's 2-Piston, cross drilled and slotted front brake system allows Sentra drivers who appreciate a responsive braking system to stop with confidence. As with the rest of our brake upgrade kits, it is designed to perform with the factory OE master cylinder and is fully compatible with the factory ABS system.
At the heart of this kit are 2-Piston aluminum calipers and 13"x1.1" (330mm x 28mm) cross-drilled and slotted one-piece rotors. This brake system diminishes the fade found in the stock brakes. All of our big brake kits are delivered complete with caliper mounting brackets, DOT-compliant stainless steel brake lines, Mintex Xtreme brake pads and all the necessary high-grade installation hardware.
Now we're talkin'!philipa_240sx wrote:Now since the Rogue shares front brakes with the '07-08 Sentra SE-R, there are some interesting options:
The stock brakes are 11.84 x 1.04 with a single piston floating caliper. Stillen makes an upgrade for the Sentra SE-R that should fit the Rogue:

Yes, 13.1" brakes are very pimp and would fill out 19's very nicely!EddNog wrote:Now we're talkin'!-Ed
Sweet! Please let us know when this becomes available!mstrmstr wrote:I have inquired with a Chicago,Il(USA) importer of replacement rotors/pads to assemble a package to market to Rogue owners. Thanks to Phillipa the crossreferencing is a plus.
The rotor/pad package will consist of drilled-slotted rotors and ceramic pads. As they are zinc plated, they do look cool thru the wheel. Granted 98% of us will changeout just for looks, the side benefit is very little brake dust and smoother, shorter barking.
Expected retail for the complete set is expected to be under $259.00 USand will be compatible with stock calipers and ABS system.
Sounds like a great package. Any idea of when it will available?mstrmstr wrote:I have inquired with a Chicago,Il(USA) importer of replacement rotors/pads to assemble a package to market to Rogue owners. Thanks to Phillipa the crossreferencing is a plus.

Not just bling but cheap too. $240 for 4 rotors and ceramic pads - I think it's extremely cheap.philipa_240sx wrote:I do admit that drilled/slotted rotors are very bling though!
