Brake pad size

Autozone has $247 performance rotor and pad kit. But I want $50 under-performance pads. 6.5" pads is just overkill for regen-braking.

I think you would be better served by posting this question/issue in the Nissan Leaf forum(s). For the two vehicle forums that I participate in, there are posts/replies for ASE-certified mechanics who are usually well-informed. Some of the shade tree mechanics can also offer good advice based on their experience.

Also, if you are in doubt about a replacement part call a few dealer parts desks and discuss the issue with them. They usually are knowledgeable albeit sometimes lazy to fully answer your question. They should have details about superseded parts, etc. After all, it should be in their parts data base, assuming they are kept updated in a timely manner.

I already know that I need 6.5" pads. What I want to know is what other cars are using 6.5". Searching for 2012 Leaf usually come up empty. 2014 has more hits. Two on-line sellers won't even response to my inquiry.

Half joking of course. But if I don't have any other choice, I would have to do it.

The seller I got from won't answer my inquiry, 3 days after the return deadline. I'll order from another one (also won't answer my inquiry), but I should be able to check and return it in time.

If not, just cut the ceramic from the new pad, superglue and brass screw it to the old pad. When it kills the rotor, then get the rotor and pad kit from autozone. 1/3 joking of course.

It used to be you looked up your model-year in a paper parts catalog, but it's mostly online now.

if that doesn't work if you have alternative transport park and disassemble your car and use the alternative to visit the supplier with the old part in hand..

I know what I need. Just don't know where to buy 6.5" pads.

To summarize: haynes.com: 0 result for brake pad autozone: don't have pad alone ebay: no 2011 or 12 Leaf, 2013+ only

OK, if my second ebay order doesn't work, will try it.
