BREMBOS check your pads!!!!

I found out that the rear inside pads wear out alot faster.
With this being in mind you would think (just common sense) that they would
put a warning tab on the inside pad. Nope! Only one pad has one and the outside had it. Mine started squeeling while cruising. Come to find out I was almost down to the metal. Approx 1mm (no joke). They were going to charge me $400 to change the rears alone. I bought the pads myself ($135/rears only) and installed them myself. G35 is the easiest brake change I have ever done in my life!!!! But this time I placed the one with the warning tab on the inside where it would make sense and the old outside pads I saved since they still looked practically new!!!

Inside and the outsides are interchangable.

Yeah, same thing happened to me. Unfortunately it was too late. My outside pads had good life left, but my insides were gone and chewed up my rotors. Oh well, new Brembo slotted rotors for me

I have Project MU B-force all around. Good improvment over stock. Nice initial bite and consistant feel.

Cool

I changed mine out to the Project MU - type NS at about 24K.

I am very happy with them. Virtually NO dust and great initial bite w/ little fade.

Mine were about 2/3 gone in front and about 1/2 in the rear but wore very evenly between the inside/outside.
