Hi All,
Looks like my 2017 Nissan Frontier is due for its first Pad/rotor change (actually rotors look good but I usually do it all in one shot) I went to look at ordering pads and rotors and stumbled upon these on tire rack of all places.

The truck sees fairly light weight duty mostly hauling road bikes (and not much since according to USAc racing season is pretty much DOA this year) and camping stuff around with the occasional landscaping stuff for our cabin in CO albeit we do have plans to semi-regularly bumper tow small rental trailers from Scottsdale up to Flagstaff and back in the summer. I know I don’t need drilled and slotted rotors but when I compare these to quality pads and OEM spec rotors It looks like these packs are a cheaper option. Only thing holding me up is the pad material being listed as “composite” (does this mean ceramic? Since from my understanding ceramic pads are composites) and limited reviews, of the pads themselves.
Has anyone here used Street Select pads? Normally I’d go with Akebono proact ceramics (I believe Akebono makes the brake systems for most Nissans) but the cost savings and the cool looking drilled and slotted rotors are calling my name. Fwiw pad life isn’t really a big deal to me.
