whats a good brake kit thats recommemned for the g35 when it comes to something thats usually street driven but for someone that wants better than what they came with

 

Oem akebonos

 

So there are other options you can do besides upgrading to a BBK. You can upgrade to better rotors, better pads, SS lines, etc. If you take that route you won't end up breaking the bank. But if your heart is set on a BBK, you can go aftermarket 4 pots from Brembo or Stoptech.

what yr is your G?

 

Isn't this in the V35 tech forum? Then it would be the oem brembos off the g35 coupe sport or 350z.

But anyways, why do you want BBK? It will basically do you no good unless you track your car.

The OEM brakes on the g are pretty good.

And I think people are looking for completely the wrong thing in terms of "feel." People seem to be looking for a super stiff brake pedal, but this is actually not ideal.

 

i have an 06... is it not really worth upgrading the brakes?

 

the 06 brakes are already improved over the earlier ones. weather or not it's "worth it" is up to you. swapping to OEM Brembo's would open up a lot more pad and rotor upgrade options, 2pc rotors would cut weight improving power delivery as well as disperse heat better for longer. Akebono retrofit would offer BBK looks at a low price. a "true" BBK would offer looks and performance gain at a much higher price.

 

thanks, Ill prob look into the bbk stuff!

 

chicks dig BBKs

 

hahaha bbk it is lol

 

Can't go wrong with Akebonos!

 

OEM Akebonos with the aftermarket 2 pc rotors. Those oem rotors werigh 26lbs each Sheeshes

 

You really can go wrong with Akenbonos. Heavy, bulky, pad choice.....best oem is the Brembos by far.




OP, i have a stoptech set for sale in the classifieds>

 

I had the Akebono's installed on my 07 G35 Coupe - love the upgrade!

 

Again, unless you track your car and can get a performance oriented pad to fade from the heat, a BBK will give you basically NO improvement in braking.

It is basically some cosmetic upgrade for the vast majority of people. Same with cross drilled/slotted rotors. Basically kills your brake pads for no improvements UNLESS you regularly can get performance oriented pads to fade, ie. track conditions.
