I have a 2003 G35 Coupe 55K and need to replace my Rotors (does not have the Brembo brake pkg.) What is the best Rotor for DD? I am looking at the Brembo rotors and have used them on my other cars.

 

R1 concept rotors if you dont go brembo.

 

R1 concept ? Better than Brembo?

 

They are a good rotor made by centric they are a replacement rotor for oem.Brembo are a larger rotor.l guess some would say a track rotor

 

Thanks I will take a look at them. My G has standard brakes not the Brembo Pkg.

 

They have drilled and slotted rotors too.there is also a company brake performance .they have good rotors also.

 

Thank you I am on the R1 site now

 

Your welcome.l think if you went with brembo you would have to get new calipers also.

 

No they have Brembo rotors for the standard brake calipers that I have on my car. My car does not have the Brembo rotors and calipers.

 

If you call them you get a little better price.it might be $10 but its still a saving

 

Ok, so my brembo pads have been done and i am in need of a replacement. what should i use? can i use any brake pads on my brembo braking system? BTW i have an 04 g35

P.S. sorry if i sound dumb but i don't know anything about cars except how to drive them lol

 

Sorry but I do not have the Brembo brakes on my car, just the regular and I am using ceramic on them, your choice.

 

My suggestion, DBA rotors available in 3 configurations sloted/drilled or both. There is no comparison between DBA rotors and other brands, they're the very best! Brake pads, HAWK HPS pads will stop like OE and triple the life along with almost zero dust... how can you beat that? Both rotors and pads are available from our Marketplace under vendor brakes.

I've used Project MU NS pads on my Brembo coupe for years now and they perform just like the OEM Brembo pads at less cost.

Have used Hawk HPS on other cars and have never liked them for the street. Poor initial bite, especially in the cold or rainy weather.

 

Any other recommendations for rotors & pads for cars that do not have the Brembo brake package? I'm looking for new pads & rotors for my '05 sedan.

gary c - I believe DBA rotors are only for cars with the Brembo package. The OP stated he did not have the Brembo package, but I think he does have Brembo rotors that fit his car currently installed.

I'm looking at the R1 Concepts premium slotted rotors front & rear w/ Hawk HPS pads for $555. That seems around what I expect to pay, but I want to make sure I'm getting quality parts. 14 years ago I used Hawk HP Plus pads on my '99 Civic and those pads bit down hard. They were a bit noisy, but the performance was worth it.

Other recommendations are welcome. I think several of us would like to know your experience with different rotors and pad set ups. I'd love to hear people's comments on anyone's experience with using the R1 Concepts.
Thanks!
