Call a dealer and ask.

But from experience with the OE Brembos, dealers don't have room to negotiate prices on them and the dealer price is extremely high. I'd realistically expect those brakes to run a minimum of $4-5000 through a dealer.

I never particularly stated nor defined better... I should have been more specific. I just love those large calipers & rotors of the G37 brakes. And just as you stated, larger rotor have a higher heat capacity at the track.

As far as just for daily use, well, the only advantage of the G37 brakes over the 03-04 Brembo's are looks (which is subjective).

Not sure if the G37S brakes calipers are heavier (I believe they are made by Akebono) The bigger rotors will be since they are not two piece.

Not only are they not necessarily better, but they could make things worse on a G35. Remember, unless someone knows differently (i.e. they have taken apart an Akebono caliper, and seen the parts numbers for the G37) the caliper pistons and brake MC are likely to be sized differently. You could slap those on and end up with much longer braking distances.

Remember, a lot of engineering goes into braking systems. Bigger isn't always better by default, even with added thermal capacity. There are a lot of variables at play here - brake bias, weight, caliper stiffness, etc.

Anyone have pictures on a G35 with the G37s brakes installed? I assume they clear the sport 19's no problem?

Ya they clear, twin001 did a DIY on a G37 brake install on his G35 in which he had stock 19s. They will clear pretty much any 19" wheel.
