Hello everyone. I'm kind of new here and don't know that much about car. I Have 2003 G35 Coupe 6MT (with brembo) and thinking of replacing stock rotors and break pads. If anyone can help me with figuring out what is best for me in terms of price/quality and know any stores that sell them in Toronto, Ontario.

Thank you in advance

 

If you do some searching in the Brakes and Suspension forum, you'll see that this has been discussed many times in different threads.

In short, pads are a tradeoff, and you have to decide what's most important in a new pad. You can have less dust and longer wear, but you will give up cold stopping performance and initial brake "bite." If you like the OEM Brembo performance (cold stops) and don't mind the brake dust too much, then stick with OEM, and buy them from one of the online vendors, like mynismo.com, everythingg35.com, etc. Everythingg35.com also sells OEM-quality blank rotors from Centric for not too much money. There are LOTS of other options as well, but if you want to stay stock/close to stock, the above are good options.

 

I had a follow up question to this....I recently went in ot have my car serviced at an Infinity dealership. They told me that I needed new pads but because I had an 04 with Brembos the rotors were 1 time use....is that BS? Can I just replace the pads?

 

1 time use? That's laughable. I think that means that you cannot resurface them. Am I right? What did you ever find out?
