Hi, I have a '03 5AT G Coupe. What material is the infiniti brake pads made of? Ceramic or semi-metallic? I need new pads soon and i'm looking to buy either the Duralast made of semi-metallic or Duralast Gold made of ceramic. I am currently running the oem infiniti brake pads and i want to match the compounds that are already being used. Also, which duralast performs better, the Duralast or Duralast Gold pads?

Look into Hawk pads....I think they will give you the same performance as the OEM's, and will give off alot less brake dust.....

I've been pretty happy with the Project Mu Type-NS pads... Less dust, and performs the same as stock.

I ran Hawk pads in my other car. My only compaint with those, was that they stopped very well when warmed up, but the initial bite seemed pretty poor.

i wouldnt buy that autozone sh** for my g35. ur better off with hawk, ive got the original brembo pads on mine

don't get the stock pads

they give of too much brake dust and when i used them the wouldn't stop squealing!

i use a pad here in australia called the rb74. its made from a local company called race brakes.. its a similar pad to the EBC redstuff but even better

Few people test wet cold braking where it is the hardest to achieve oem standards. Easy to make a pad perform better in hot conditions if you accept cold problems.

All depends on local temps and the pad temperature when you first need to apply brakes and need them to be optimum.
