What a JOKE

G35 coupe brakes might be the one of the most powerful, but they are ridiculous

Total cost to repair brakes last service: $1000

What does that "repair" include? You could do it yourself. But while I do think that quote is high, if you want performance parts, you gotta pay performance prices for maintance

You didn't even mentioned what is involved with that price. Is it for resurfacing the rotors? Is this for the Brembo's?

that what you get when you buy car in the premium or near luxury category... it gives the manufacturers the 'right' to charge extra... heck you cant do anything abt it... its a monopoly... we all gotta suck it up and pay.

do it yourself and it wont cost as much. If you dont know how, ask and learn... the high price comes with the luxury of having a g35, if you cant afford the repairs dont buy the car.

Let me rehash since people are getting a lil bit offended, I meant to put a smily face or an lol but missed it due to the fact that I have had, oh 7-8 beers so far tonight, so my apologizies if I come off rude, it was more of a joke. On top of that, if I had wanted to be rude, it would have been a lot worse than that, ya feel me? Still got love for all the g riders out there, especially in the bay.
