HBs that stop well are a treat. I love the improvement I gained when I replaced all the old stuff earlier this year.

How do your brake hoses look?

Man.. When I did mine the truck felt like it was going to do a nose stand. And that was before I got them bedded in.

REV hoses looked fine, but that is next job Stainless Steel Braided, did that on my Z and it makes the pedal hard as a 14 yr old looking at playboy LOL. SS lines and full system flush coming real soon. But my brakes were almost shot so I had to get them done and did this myself. The lines and flush I have a guy who will do it dirt cheap for me.He has a vacuum flusher that will clean entire system, after putting on SS lines at all 4 corners. That will make it perfect.

Silver sorry but I have no digi camera, and it is all back together. Does not look any different than stock the brembos are smooth, not drilled or slotted. Just factory replacements. But I have used them on other cars and they are great for street, cheap but made by BREMBO and are tougher than most replacement rotors.

On most of my previous cars, I used to always buy the Brembo blanks and PBR metal master or ceramic pads. That combo always worked great for me and lasted very long.

I agree this is my 3rd set of that combo and for the money they are great.

I did my brake change with all new EBC setup. The rears are still drums. EBC shows the stock drum brakes under the parts list for my particular app. The front rotors I just matched with the same year Pathfinder it al fit together and man what a difference. The rotors come slotted and I went with the red stuff pads. I can stop better even when they are hot very little brake fade.

EBC are nice, buddy has them on his car. I just went with stock replacement by brembo as they are more than enough for the street and much much much cheaper than drilled or slotted. I would be wasting money for those, a little over kill for my daily driving. But i know they are good.
