My '04 G35x is ready for its third set of brakes at 53,000 miles. This car suffers serious brake judder even after driving an hour on the highway and not touching the brake pedal once. It commonly occurs at speeds of 40 mph+. It happened with original and warranty replacement brakes. Replacement rotors were turned two months ago and within two weeks of that it was back.

Sooooo, my question is do any after market brakes really solve the judder problem or does it come back eventually? I have searched this forum thoroughly, I think , but I haven't seen much on long term success. I can handle the wear but not the judder.

Thanks for your responses

 

Stop using your breaks so hard? I dunno, I don't have that issue with my '05 coupe (infiniti brakes, not brembo's). The only reason they should be getting warped is because they're constantly getting super heated... which means a lot of hard braking akin to autocrossing...

 

The judder is from either warped rotors or brake bedding is uneven. Just take it to a brake shop and have them machine the rotors. If it's warped too much then new rotors are needed. If it's just slightly warped its just uneven brake bedding, then the resurface will make them like brand new. You'll need new pads of course.

There's no need for aftermarket rotors unless you're going to do something more intensive than daily driving.
