Gotta buddy at a dealer said these are the prices he can get me OEM parts for.

How are these prices, worth it?
Front rotors $108 each
front pads $87.00
rear rotors $102 each
rear pads $89.96

Should I cheap out on after market?

Rip off. Go on Ebay. I got a full set for $120 and honestly I can't tell the difference from the $250 set I had before that.

Remember too, there are now two different levels of OEM. There is OEM, what came from the factory. Nissan and Infiniti have also released a line of maintenance items that are supposed to a higher quality than aftermarker but more affordable. It is called Nissan / Infiniti Maintenance Advantage. https://www.discountinfinitiparts.com/

I put on stop Tech and love them, ya you can tell a difference OEM warps and doesn't last near as long.

I've owned multiple Nissan vehicle over the years and use to get suckered in and buy oem. The aftermarket parts are awesome.

Go to ebay and look and see what's available, he'll you'll be able to buy oem as well just for less money.

Good luck

I had StopTech on my Accord. I thought they were very meh. Not much initial bite, definitely grabbed harder as the pad heated up. Exit the highway at speeds around 85mph and started to feel fade.....not expected for a slotted / cross drilled "higher performance" setup.

I'm still hooked on Brakemotive. Each time my brakes need to be replaced, I buy a complete set of slotted, drilled rotors + brakes from Brakemotive. I have the dealer chuck the whole set on the car and install my new set. The dealer usually charges about $200 to do all 4 wheels. The Brakemotive 'kit' is sold on Ebay for about $150 for all 4 wheels. I get 4 new dichromate rotors, new ceramic brakes /shims, etc. The finaL cost = less than $400 for completely new rotors and brakes on all 4 wheels. I am currently driving my 2nd M and between the two cars , I am on my 4th set. No warping, no squealing, no brake fade. They last the same as OEM but perform better and cost less.
