Endless Brake Pads: Which Are Best For Your GT-R?
Without question the Nissan R35 GT-R is one of the best performing vehicles in the market today. With that said, there is always room for improvement! When pushing this 4000 lb beast to its limits, you’ll soon realize there’s nothing wrong with upgrading the braking system a little! We don’t typically try to upsell a product until either (A) Your parts have worn out, or (B) your parts aren’t performing to your expectations.
Our customers come to us for advice when selecting their upgrades and we are always happy to make suggestions based on their needs and budget. When it comes to upgrading the brakes on your R35 GT-R, it doesn’t make much sense to replace your worn out brake pads with the OEM part as the Endless Pads will deliver more performance, less noise, less dust, and lower a lower price! Just like everything in life, everyone has different needs and wants and making the same suggestion to all customers would not be ideal.
When we recommend brake pad replacements, we have narrowed down the choices to three different models by Endless that seem to cover the spectrum of R35 GT-R Owners.
Aggressive Street/Track
Endless MX-72
Material Base: Semi-Metallic
Braking Style: Standard
Mu Range: 0.37
Designed for dual purpose aggressive street and light track use. Low noise and dust while offering great initial response, great pedal consistency, and high levels of modulation. Targeted for light to medium weight cars and circuits with low to medium top speeds. These are by far, our most popular and versatile pads.
Endless ME20
Material Base: Semi-Metallic
Braking Style: Trail-Braking
Mu Range: 0.45~0.50
Competition Pad with high and stable mu levels at high temperatures while maintaining low wear. Developed for highly competitive touring cars focused on driving technique. Suitable for both hard street and track conditions, and one of our most popular track day pads. Also popular in BTCC, WTCC, PWRC, and International Rally.
Dedicated Race
Endless N05U
Material Base: Semi-Metallic
Braking Style: Trail-Braking
Mu Range: 0.45~0.53
Higher friction levels than ME20. Exhibits stable performance at high temperatures and brake loads with quick, sharp and responsive braking force. Excellent Modulation. Popular in WRC, FIA GT Car, PWRC, and International Rally.
WHAT ELSE DO WE RECOMMEND?
In addition to upgrading to Endless Brake Pads, its also a great idea to upgrade to a High Temp Brake Fluid, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, and Slotted Rotors! The sum of these parts together will improve your braking performance dramatically!
