So drove my maxima today, its been a while. Family members have been using it.
I noticed that the brakes aren't working great, or it could be that i'm used to my G35's braking habits. While they stop the car i feel the bite isn't as great.
Fluid is newer, about a year old. Front brakes have 60-75% pad life and rotors look great, i think they were last serviced 2-3 years ago. Rear brakes, well driver's side is low and need replacement. Rear pass is below 50% but not as bad as driver side. I'm assuming i'll be needed to replace the rear driver's caliper as well ( they are known to go bad often). They are screw in type with parking brakes built-in.
So my question to you guys, assuming it 70% front brakes and 30% rear brakes, would just replacement of my rears give me a better feel overall?
When i say feels weak, i mean, I hit the brakes and i'm expected to stop in about 10-12feet normally and i feel it stops at 15-17 feet. This is my perception anyways. It could be that i'm used to my car and i'm expected the same performance. I've had another person drive and say the same thing tho.
Also, pads are Raybesto mid-level stuff, semi-metalics most likely.
