Well it's come time to do my brakes on my 2005 infiniti g35x Non-brembo.

Need new rotors/pads and 1 of my caliper's may be seized ( what mechanic told me he noticed after my last oil change at dealership ) . Any recommendations or reviews/links on the products the vendors offer?

Car is on 17's so any big brake kits would be out of the question seeing as I will be running on winters/shitty rims all winter. Looking for something affordable in the non big brake kit area that is not junk. Low dust pad's and rotors that rust slower than others of possible will also be a plus

Only reason I don't want to go oem is all I have read is bad things on fast wear etc.

Looking for friendly helpful advice

 

i am selling my oem brake calipers, rotors and pads (all 4) the caliper has only 50,000 miles on them painted black and rotors and pads have less then 800 miles on them.. pm me for price if you want them.. i need these gone

**These are off my 06 g35 coupe with sport tuned suspension.. the brakes have no issues and i never had issues with them.. i took them off cuz i replaced it with a bbk set up****

 

Do not need caliper's as mine are in great shape, thanks tho.

So my dealership wants 138$ a rotor, but the rotors online are 65$ a rotor. Am I better off just ordering all 4 rotors and pads online? Then getting them to install? I wanna stick with getting the dealership to install tho. They also want 62$ each for the hardware kits. Anywhere I can find these hardware kits online?

Also noob question I do not need to replace backing plates do I? Seen them online. Mine look fine.

 

I have all 4 rotors R1 brand and rear hawk pads..it says they fit the 2003 thru 2007 coupe but I bought them for my sedan and they don't fit

 

Dealerships won't usually install parts the customer brings in. There is nothing special about our brakes. Any mechanic should be able to install them. Find a good one in your area and save a lot of money. You do not need to replace backing plates unless you go with larger than stock rotors.

 

+1, agree! The dealer wanted $250 to resurface rotors and new pads for my rear set. went online bought new OEM rotors (nothing fancy) and hawk ceramic pads for $140, and then had them installed by a local mechanic for $80. If you have the time and space, you can probably swap them out yourself. lotsa youtube videos DIY.

btw, i would not do hawk ceramic pads again, the pads have squealed just about as long as i've had them. stop great though.
