Carbotech Brake Pads
I've started using Carbotech pads on my 2003 G35. Carbotech makes a very wide range of non-metallic pads. They excellent brake torque and modulation, particularly important for track applications. The pads are made from Ceramic, Kevlar, and Carbon and are extremely rotor friendly and contain 100% non-corrosive brake dust.
I just put a set of AX6 on the G35 and am very pleased with the results. I could barely get the ABS to engage on dry street using OEM but with the Carbotech's they trigger at about 80% pedal pressure.
The AX6 s an excellent street performance pad, roughly 30-50% more bite that OEM. XP8 is a great pad for the track (PDX, HPDE, etc.) I use XP8s on the track.
The part numbers for the G35 front (non-Brembo) is CT430/815 and the rear is CT905. Cost is in the $140 range. I don't think they are selling through dealers, orders can be place by phone or email.
