Does anyone know a good set of brake pads? Have to replace them ASAP? Any good deals???

 

umm hawk hps are pretty decent. there is a vendor selling them for a very good deal as well. they have very low brake dust, and i havent heard any squealing from them. go for them

 

That sounds pretty good. Would you happen to know a web site of the vendor?
Yeah I'm all about noise and dust free so those seem pretty good.

 

Riverside infiniti.... Get the Project Mu pads... ask for Tony or Rick
Tell them I sent you!
Great pads for the money!

 

Do you know how much those go for???

 

TireRack.com sells numerous and runs comparison tests based on brake distance, dust, noise, etc. Good place to start and the prices are excellent.

 

the hawks go for 105 shipped. just go to the brakes section and u will see a vendor who only sells hawks

 

I just got them off tire rack. Thx a lot for all the help
I hope I'll like them.

 

I got the ceramic Akebono's and they are fantastic.

 

OEM is best for all around performance, warm up, and stopping distance and but not so much for rotor longevity. It's a compromise.

 

OEM's do dust a lot... but then again that can be used as sign of how much braking your car does...

 

I fully agree. I purchased a set of front hawk pads and they still dust quite a bit; maybe not as much as the stocks but they still do. The pedal feel is way better with the stocks and it takes quit a bit of getting used to when braking with Hawk pads.

 

+1, going back to stock when my currents wear out.

 

can you explain what you had to get used to when you were using the hawk pads? did they have more initial bite?

 

I believe there was a TSB for the brake rotors and pads b/c they wore down too quickly. OEM pads have received significant negative feedback for the G, with a threatened class action. Infiniti eventually caved and extended the warranty on their OEM rotors (I'm not sure about the brakes but I think so also). I had mine replaced free under the extended warranty.
