hi everyone.
I have to change brake pads on both axles. I would like to enhance stopping power a little. Is is worth to buy OEM brake pads which is about $47 a set on sewell , or maybe buy some Duralast from Autozone for $30 a set? My last Duralasts on Nissan Altima were pretty good , now I changed for OEM ones (on Altima) resurface the rotors and I feel a little worst stopping power. I trying to say maybe OEM pads are not the best option? What do you think guys?
Anyways Does sewell auto parts sending originall oem parts? Thank you.

Then buy better tires. That's the only sure way to stop the car shorter. The brakes don't stop the car, the tires do.


Your brake pads won't make any difference at all to the distance your car stops in.

Pads can change the feel of the brakes, but not the stopping distance of the car.

If you'd like to understand why, read this:

he gets to pads specifically on page 3:

see article for the details of the why.




As to pads, if you're not driving the car on a race track, there's no reason not to use the OEM low-dust brake pads from Sewell.

(if you are driving it on a race track you'd likely want pads that won't be the best for normal street use)
