That's a good point.
Also if you're looking for OEM equivalent for a possibly better price point, go with Akebono or Nissin. They are the manufacturers of the OEM pads
For a Nissan, i would stay away from the "Nissan Value Advantage" pads. They are literally re-packaged Lordco/Napa/Dorman/whatever shit pads, and be ready to experience the above quote
