So, I'm looking into re-doing my brakes and wanted to know what the best setup I could get for my money was. I'm not on a huge budget so I would need something affordable and I only want something that stops a bit better than stock. Does anyone have any suggestions. Keep in mind, it must clear my 20" MRR GT1's.

 

search akebono

 

Yea the stock G37 Akebono would be good or some used brembos from 03-04 G35/350z.

 

ditto.

03/04 Brembo's for ~$1200

09 Akebono's for ~$1850

 

Define "stops better than stock".

 

upgraded pads will help you stop quicker. BBK's help disipate heat better and reduce brake fade over repetitive stops.

 

BBK clearance of your wheels will probably be the biggest influence. If you DON'T have clearance, then something like Racing Brake's oem bbk upgrade might be for you. Upgrade to their 2pc rotors and you'll have a nice setup. Won't have the caliper bling though. But you can upgrade to those later

 

Highly debatable. Depends on the pad, conditions, etc. Unlikely that you'll find any aftermarket pad that stops the car in a shorter distance than OEM on the first couple of stops, or at least appreciably so.
