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.

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.

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.
