Patient is my 2003 G35 Sedan auto with the sports spuspension and 17" factory rims (upgraded tires to 235/50/17). She has slightly more tha 39,000 miles on her (original owner) and is due for front pads and rotors and the rears only NEED pads, but I might jsut to pads and rotors anyway.
I am not a super agressive driver but I also dont drive live a grandma. I drive my G35 the way it shold be driven, with gusto and bravado but not *****-to-the-wall all the time. I'd love to put on brakes that will actually last a decent amount of time AND produce a LOT LESS DUST. Performance? Of course that's important but I find the stock brakes to be pretty good and as long as the aftermarket stuff wors as good or better...I'll be happy.

So, anyone care to chime in with recomendations? The dealer was totally insane with pricing and my local independent said bring in whatever parts I want and he will install.

I was cruising some pages and found the StopTech Stage 2 Kit to be reasonably priced at $700 for all new pads, rotors and lines for all four corners, plus fluid for a fluid change. But I have no experience with StopTech or with EverythingG35.com Would there be any advantages to the StopTech Stage 2 Kit over standard parts? I could get standard parts from EverythingG35.com for about $420. That's a $280 difference, more than enough to cover the labor. If its worth it, I have no problem spending the extra money...but I also dont want to throw it away...so...let me have it...I want ur opinions, good and bad.

Go for the big brake kit stop tech is the chit can't go wrong with these set. Just get some ceramic pads to eliminate dust build up if you're concerned about that.

 

The stage 2 kit is not a "Big Brake" kit from what I can see. It uses the stock calipers. It comes with StopTech's SportStop slotted rotors, StopTech stainless steel brake lines, Axxis Ultimates street performance pads and 3 bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid.

 

stoptech is some good stuff.
