Could anyone possibly advise me of what pads work best with the 300 and where they can be purchased? have heard of many but not sure what to go for..

 

Thanks

I've got some EBC Red stuff pads on mine - they are quite new but have excellent anti-fade characterstics. They work like OEM when cold but under hard braking you can feel them grip more and more. I have used OEM and didnt rate them, PAGID ones which where OK but spewed brake dust all over the shop, and cheap Lucas pads - avoid them like the palgue! A few people have mentioned Porterfield pads as being good. Prices anywhere betwen £75 - £150 for decent ones, but shop around as prices can vary. Gazmo can get ones for the 300 as they are the same as the Skyline R32 I got my PAGID and EBC pads from Middlehurst.

 

Axxis metal matrix, cheap and very good with stock discs (IMO)

 

I got the MM's from Phuong Tao at GR-racing for $37 a set (www.eatricezone.com)

Can we have a recommendation for good pads that don't eat the discs. I heard (I think) that the EBC Greens were OK, but I would be mistaken.

 

Thanks guys,

 

I think I will go with the EBC as was after good cold and hot performance and mine are squealing like pigs with Foot and Mouth and need replacing urgently!!Guess it takes a while for the imported units to arrive.

 

Cheers

The EBC ones reportedly have low brake dust emission ( true so far) and low disc wear - dunno about that yet!!!

 

I've been using Porterfield R4S for a couple of years which I get from Silvia Engineering. I tend to be quite hard on brakes and had serious overheating problems with Nissan ones.

 

Craig imported a set from the states because it seemed cheaper but by the time he'd paid taxes & shipping it worked out pretty much the same - about £120.

 

I have no experience of the EBCs (except that I have green stuff EBC pads on my mountain bike!) so I can't make a comparison.

Have now heard from Middlehurst that EBC Red's are a good choice for the 300.The Green's are for lighter cars (hot hatch)upto about 2 litre/150BHP.

 

Hello people !! I was thinking today about my drive shaft ! May it was the superior stopping power provided by my EBC green pads that snapped my drive shaft !?! By the way Bilky I have now ditched the yellow Micra for a Primera diesel Turbo !! Closest I'll get to a 300 I feel.

 

I have the portefield carbon kevlar pads front & rear supplied by SE with DOT 5.1 brake fluid. These fit standard calipers.

 

Fitted myself and works well. Have had no brake fade yet stopping from 120+ down to 30 cool ;-)

 

Have been on car 14k miles and still stopping.
