so after doing my first brake job (rears), i realized i should get started on looking for new rear rotors and rotors/pads for the fronts before it goes bad to the point that im scared to brake. lol

im interested in keeping the brembo pads or going with project mu pads since they are affordable, perform, and have good reviews on em.

the thing is.. im lookin for suggestions on rotors. i see powerslot and brembo have rotors out there in a do-able price range. everything else like stoptech, etc are brake upgrades and cost too damn much ($1000+). what do you recommend?

 

www.ocautosports.com check these rotors out... cheap and very effective, also no rusting that others are complaining about with other more expensive brands.. a few members on here forwarded me to them and i'm more than happy.. also i have used the axxis deluxe pads and they suck with initial bite and noise. I'm using hawk hps now and they are pretty good. Next i'll go with nismo or back to brembo for the oem bite. Good luck

 

+1000 for them....they are really nice guys too

 

+1 on ocautosports. Just got my pads/rotors all around installed and have been using them for about 3 weeks and couldn't be happier.

 

hows the pricing? do they make their own stuff?

 

+1 on pricing?

 

depends on if you have brembo or not... if not they have auctions on ebay with f&r pads and rotor for dirt cheap.. i have brembo and bought cross drilled/slotted front and rears for a little over 300...... I thought it was a pretty good price, compared to the other options

 

Non-Brembo, I got pads and rotors all around for dirtcheap. I got the rotors, plated, and only slotted. The pads were posiquiet, which are great and required no break in. (per instructions on box) So far I am very happy w/ the results. (You can do custom requests, such as slotted and drilled in gold, drilled only in black, etc.) Just do a search on ebay if you want to know the exact pricing, they are ocautosports or ocautosports.com. Or just search "slotted g35 rotor" on ebay.


Warm regards,
Jason

 

Have you considered Rotora rotors, as a replacement? I recently replaced the OEM rotors with drilled/slotted Rotora rotors. I am very pleased with my choice.

 

According to post #16’s link in this thread: https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...=196097&page=2

they are $217 (add $30 for gold or black zinc plating)... I will be calling them soon~!

Has anyone used their SS brake lines?

Jason, how do you link the zinc plating? Does it hold up? I’m thinking of getting black – did you get gold or black?

Also, is anyone using the Kevlar pads? Comments on them please…

 

Yeah, you got me. It was 217 for rotors AND pads. Excellent deal. I've only had the setup on for a couple of weeks, but I see nothing wrong as far as the plating. I just got the regular coating, think it is clear.(my rotors are silver) Plus there is a one year warranty on the rotors. Several other people from here have also used them and are very happy.

 

are you using the semi-metallic Kevlar pads? I'm not sure how they can be Kevlar if they are semi-metallic? Maybe a combo? Anyway - I'm thinking of trying those... if that's what you are using, how is the grab? What about brake dust?

 

i was about to ask the same question earlier!!! I have a feeling im gonna have to replace my pads soon and i was thinkin might as well sav eup and change the rotors as well..

 

I wonder if there is enough interest for a GB?... The pricing seems pretty good already, not sure how much lower they can go.

Maybe I'll ask when I contact them what they can do for us...

 

yeah find out. im interested in some rotors. the brake pads ill stick to the brand names.
