Will this keep brakes quiet?

LtimmyJ · 04-11-2017, 03:05 PM

Car: 2013 Touring+sport pkg.

Story: There is an awful lot of screeching when I brake. Figured I wanted to get slotted rotors all around and a set of quiet brake pads. Research tells me these centric pads are the quietest vs stoptech/hawks.

Those are the current brake pads I'm looking at.

And here are the rotors I'm looking at.

Or should I just order this z1 brake package?

They look to be the exact same rotors/pads, but in a package deal.

When talking brakes, you need to state how you drive and what you want...

4 main levels:
Track (more noise / lots of dust)
Max Performance (minor noise / lots of dust)
Better than stock (no noise / some dust)
Stock (normal driving / Low dust)

Better than stock, no noise, low dust, daily driver

Unfortunately, what you're looking for is really hard to find. If you want better than stock performance, you'll have to deal with more noise or dust. For a daily driver, the OEM pads are pretty good.

Just go to the Nismo Pads (Nissan Semi-Metalic) good for 600F. It's a step up without too many drawbacks.

I used red stuff and they were quite. They dusted a bit but after they had some ware the dust settled down.

Regardless of the brand of brake pads, I recommend using an anti-squeal coating on your pads. The stuff really works.

I'm running stoptech street pads for a couple of weeks now... OEM rotors. So far no squealing, performance seems on par or a little better than OEM.
