Hi guys, a bit off topic, since my question is regarding brakes I didn't want to make another, so I thought I'd pose it here.

I am going to be ordering pads for my car soon. I have an 09 Nismo.
What pads would you recommend for occasional track days?

Also, will the Standard 18" wheels clear the Nismo brakes?

I would really appreciate any info.

Thanks

the standard 18" wheels will clear.

If you don't want to swap back and forth with pads, just stick with the stock ones.

Would you guys use XP10/XP8 on the street? Are they noisy or more dusty than the OEM sport brake pads?

It's nice to find a company that has a great product and service to match. I am currently using XP-12's front/rear and zero complaints. Firm pedal and no fade.

I have a new set of front XP-10's leftover from my 370 sport. If anyone wants them I'd take $100 plus shipping.
