Question How do I tell if my brakes are brembo or standard?

Guys,

I'm getting ready to replace the rotors (again!!!!) on my '04 G35 w/ sport suspension (Black). I see that there are a lot of styles out there (slotted, drilled, etc.).

How do I tell if my brakes are the brembo package or just the standard ones? Any recomendations out there for a good aftermarket brand and where to purchase?

Anything to avoid the stealership!!!!! I paid around $500 to repalce fr pads/rotors last time and after 15k they are already squealing.

Thanks!

the 03 and 04 models have brembo. I think the calipers are bright yellow and say brembo on them with big black letters. after o4 they just started making a bigger pad with non-brembos.

This falls into the category of...if you have to ask, you don't have them.

All joking aside OP, welcome to the site. It's a tough crowd around here because the same old regulars see the same common questions pop up time after time. Just do a search whenever you have a question and chances are it has been talked over, debated, and somebody has gotten their feelings hurt over it already. DOMO
