Brakes New pads and rotors

Ok so i have been doing alot of reading on here and my350z and I am more torn now than when i began researching. I want to get new rotors and pads on all 4 corners of the car. I drive a 04 g35 with the stock brembos. I am wanting to get hawk hps pads with either EBC UPR rotors or centric premium blank rotors. I will be auto x'ing and spirited caynon driving so brakes will get hotish. (Had a 2011 ralliart and could smell my brakes with this this type of driving) So my question is do you think this is a good set up?

I have a few weeks before i order anything so imputs are grately appereciated.

Maybe Slotted DBA rotors would be a better choice with your Hawk Pads....

Centric Premiums are good, durable/cheap rotors, if you plan on pushing the brakes I usually recommend stoptech pads over the HPS. Not only are they cheaper, they have more initial bite than the HPS.

The DBA rotors, since they are slotted, will add a bit of bite and torque, the slots also help keep the pads clean and reduce the possibility of brake judder/pad deposits.

Do the stop techs have the same fade resistance as the hawks?

About the same if not better, to our Subaru guys we recommend the Stotpechs over the HPS if they are auto-xing and street driving.

Here is a link to them, you can see on the page that it has a chart and you can read a little bit about them as well.

Wouldn't recommend the Hawk HPS for the street. Terrible initial bite. There's lots of discussion on this in this forum section.

+1 on Centric premium blanks.
