So.. I'm going to be replacing all 4 brakes and rotors on my 2004 g35x. I believe this means that I have the non brembo brakes.. I'm looking for braking power (equivalent to OEM or better), minimal noise, good pricing. I am fine with dust. I also live in New England, so I'm ruling hawk pads out of the picture...

Any suggestions with what brake+ pads would fit my needs most, or should i just go OEM?

Seems like a lot of people like the centric blanks from tirerack based on Initial research on the boards. Any recommendations on the pads that would go with that?

 

Rotors I would go with the Centric Premium blanks, but I also have a set of clearance DBA Street Series rotors for your car. Pads even though you live in New England I have lots of customers that go with the HPS and are still happy with them.

If you want to stay away from them, then I would go with the Stoptech pads. They have the bite just as equal to or better than the HPS, low noise and great price.

Ask us about our Cyber Monday deal!

I had hawk pads and hated them. They had good bite when warmed up when non when cold. I wouldn't take them if they were free. I have the Project Mu NS pads and couldn't be happier. My stock Akebonos aren't better then non-sport brakes but the project Mus help.

 

The first thing you should do is upgrade to the revised 2 piston caliper. It will allow for larger front and rear rotors. It will also eliminate the warping and other issues caused by the 1 piston calipers. You will not regret it.
