I have 05 g35 coupe auto
I need all 4 brakes
should go with hawk HPS brakes
or og brakes
need feedback
how are hawk brakes....

 

I have an 06' 6mt with 22K. Thought I needed them so I asked questions on the tech section under brakes foe months and I can easily answer your question. Hawk HPS are great but not as grabby as OEM. 03-04 had different brakes and only Brembo's were good but expensive to maintain. I looked at aftermarket but found out that 05-07 were class leading braked when our cars came out. Unless you take it to the track all you neeis OEM. I got mine several weeks ago from Tony at Riverside. I probably won't get them installed for another 6-7K since they're not quite qorn out. Hope this helps. BTW, if you do the brakes, you must get the rotors turned.

 

searching for "brakes" in the brakes section gives us..

you're welcome

 

what is the brand of the OEM brakes? i need fronts replaced but Ive only been hearing about Hawks. Any help is appreciated.

 

Infiniti stock brakes, availble through the dealerships, or one of our sponsors here, Tony at Riverside Infinit.

 

OEM is OEM.. doubt there is a brand but would be Nissan if there was. Tony@riversideinfiniti should be able to offer good prices-they always do.

 

the brand is OEM

 

hahaha *****. lol

thanks for the info though.

 

Since the 05 brakes had all the earlier issues (03-04) of premature wear resolved, I would stick with the OEM pads. The OEM front pads should last a fair amount of miles. The rears, on the other hand, are usually replaced anywhere from 19,000-30,000 miles.

 

I installed hawk brakes very happy

 

i love my OEM brakes

 

IMHO hawk pads arent great. They are just...ok. They dont bite as well as id hope they would.

 

That's pretty much the conclusion that I arrived at through my research here. I bought front and rear OEM replacements but, I haven't installed them yet. My mechanic thinks my brakes still have at least another 5K on them.

 

Let me clear something up real quick.

Hawk are more high performance pads. They bite well when heated up, such as in track conditions, but bite less in normal conditions. OEM will perform well in normal conditions but fade in track conditions. I suggest OEM.

 

same deal with ebc redstuff. They grab like a mf under hard heated conditions but for daily average braking nothing wrong with oem pads, except for the dust.
