Brake advice

First, this is an awesome forum. I'm falling in love with my G35 and this place is perfect, I can't wait for some decent weather so I can get out and do some detailing

So, my dealer warned me that my brakes were getting a bit low. However, the price he quoted me was really high. I did some searching for aftermarket parts, but I could use some experienced advice. I've got an '05 G35 RWD sedan with the OEM 19" wheels. Apparently my front ones are closest to going, but I'd like to do them all at once. Any recommendations for affordable pads/rotors that don't sacrifice too much on the performance end?

Also, I'm not quite skilled enough to do 'em myself, so does anyone have a good mechanic in the Buffalo, NY region?

Thanks in advance!

PM tony@riversideinfiniti, he'll get you the best price on OEM rotors and pads. OEM is the best way to go with the 05 sedan unless you're getting a BBK. I've other brake pads like project mu, and oem is still better. They last twice as long and dont dust like other pads.
