Rear brake pads are starting to go, need some help where to fine OEM brembo pads for an 04 coupe g35. Read some forums about after market pads but i live in New England with cold weather so Hawks wouldn't be good for me since everyone says they're not great in the cold. So just looking for OEM pads that won't cost me and an arm and a leg to buy

 

Check out Project Mu NS or B-Force. Great replacement pads for OEM, and bite well in cold weather. Check out the vendors in the marketplace.

 

what about brake dust and squeaking

 

No squeal (squeal is also a matter of installing shims and ensuring enough brake lube is used) and dust is a fair bit less than OEM pads. But no high performance pad will be dust free. It's the compromise with brake pads. You want great stopping power, you will have dust.

 

Duralast pads worked fine for me good bite, minimal dust. If you are only dailying the car and not tracking it this could be a viable option.

 

Yeah not looking to track I was looking at stop tech pads too not sure if anyone on here has used them

 

The truth is no brake pads are dust free! OE pads leave far more dust than high performance pads like Hawk or Mu! Shops like www.thetirerack.com offer opinions on how well their products work, they'd know what brake pads work best in the frozen east and north. Living in SoCal I don't have an opinion, but I do know brakes...Gary

 

Gary,
Do you have any experience running Duralast brake pads? Good cheap replacement?
