G35 Coupe "Sport Package"
Endless Vita Nuova! No noise, no dust, excellent stopping power from cold start thru heat up and very smooth pedal feel. Not meant for any track duty, but an excellent spirited street driving pad. Best pads I have used so far between my old 03 sedan and now 05 coupe. I combined these with Stoptech drilled rotors, SS lines and Motul RBF600 and I am very happy with the performance. Previous pads I have used and results:

Sedan:
- 03 OEM - very grippy from start, too sensitive and way too dusty
- Stillen Metal Matrix - good grip, no dust, smooth pedal feel, noisy/squeal
- Hawk HPS - good grip, moderate dust - much less than OEM, some noise

Coupe:
- 05 OEM - nice grip, no dust, no noise
- Project Mu B-Force - nice grip, some noise, more dust than OEM
- Endless - as listed above

Never tried them on a G, but I didn't like the Hawk HPS on my '92 300ZX. Poor initial bite, especially in the cold and wet. Dusted less and resisted fade well, though.

Cool

My experience with them was great.

Virtually no dust, no squealing, excellent initial bite even cold, and they are supposed to be very easy on the rotors.
