upgrade to ss lines and some nice pads such as endless and youll have more than enough braking power for daily driving purposes

Endless pads are really pricey. You can get away with Project MU, same price range as Hawks, and half the price of Endless.

My 3yr/36k brake warranty just ended. What is the best deal for after market pads these days? I want a set that last longer than the stockers. My friend suggested Stillen. Any advice?
BTW, I went through 3 sets of pads (front & back) & just got new rotors under warranty. My G has only 20,000 miles!
Hope the newer model years are having better luck with pads or I'm switching to another make once my lease is up.

Wow, thats a lot. I'm still on my original rotors and 2nd set of pads and I'm at almost 40k.

Do you have Brembos?

I own a Sedan, no Brembos. I'm sure having an auto plus the fact I drive bumper to bumper street to work & back has some affect.

I hear for minimal brake dust, Project MU is the way to go. I may change my pads just because I am tired of having to constantly wipe my wheels down because of all of the brake dust from the stock pads.

I just put hawk HPS pads and power slot cryo rotors on my gf's G35X 5 days ago. Well she has already put 600+ miles on them and they are dead quiet with absolutely no brake dust.

IMO these cars need a massive recall on the brakes. Im sorry but NO car should go through front brakes any faster than 50 to 60,000 miles nor should they wear the rotors down as fast as these cars do. My 99 SS Camaro has 54K on the clock now and has a little less than 50% of the original pads left and I do not drive it easy.

That is why it is best to pitch those OEM POS brakes and upgrade to a BBK. It's actually cheaper to go BBK than not!

I have Proj MU B-force and they do dust, just a lighter shade of dust so it is not that noticible.

Well thats why I ditched the stock rotors and pads and went with the super hard cryo rotors and good quality hawk pads. So far so good and no dust after 700 miles.
