Need rotors and pads

I am looking to change my 2007 G35x sedan stock rotors and pads as they are well overdue for a change. What brands and models do you recommend? I am in Toronto so where is a good place to buy them? I am not looking to spend a ton just the best bang for the buck.

I have a budget of $300-$400 max on slotted rotors + pads.

If you are not looking for anything 'special' try out www.autopartsway.ca. I have bought things from them. Parts always arrive next day..free shipping on orders over $75 too.
What year is your G?

2007 G35x sedan. I was hoping to get either slotted or drilled rotors, R1 seems like they have decent prices $240 for front and rear.

I got R1 concepts slotted rotors a few months back, they have been great to date.
Your budget should work with their prices too. BTW if you look on ebay there is usually a 10% discount vs. the website.

I got their E-Line Brembo slotted/cross drilled with front pads for 290 shipped to my buffalo mailbox. Their Ebay site is cheaper, but just do what I did and call them and tell them you want the ebay price

Aren't EBCs made from Centric blanks? if so, then their essentially the same as R1

Should I get their ceramic pads included in the package or buy their hawk pads?

Ceramic pads last longer, have little to no "brake dust" but are not as aggressive as hawk. For a daily driver, ceramic pads are the way to go IMO.

I have their ceramics on my rear calipers and while the brake dust is a bit worse than my front PBR pads the ceramics have much less dust than OEM and Hawks

I have hawk ceramics on all 4's on mine, alot less dust, and are aggressive enough for anything you'll need.

i then have stoptech's powerslot rotors and couldn't be happier with the setup.

everything purchased at tires23 in mississauga.
