Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Question for those running the Nismo branded pads

Hi everyone,

I am currently running the StopTech street performance pads on my Akebonos. I am looking to buy the orange Nismo pads but I’m a little hesitant. Some info on why I would like change these out:

Pads dust like crazy but I knew this.

My biggest complaint with the pads is that after every wash if don’t drive the car to dry the brakes, the pads “weld” to the rotor creating an ugly pad imprint.

For the guys running the Nismos, could you guys elaborate on how the pads react to water after a wash?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I am running Z1 2-Piece rotors
