Brembo pads

I have an '04 G35 coupe. What's a good brand to use for Brembo replacement brake pads? Also where to buy? Please make your recommendations.

i'm getting project mu ns pads in the next couple days from a vendor here. i guess its a really good pad with good initial bite and way less brake dust than oe pads.

I got a replacement set of hawk pads that were recommended to me. It gives off a lot of dust tho and makes the wheels pretty dirty, especially the fronts but from what I heard its a problem with almost every 03-04 coupe with brembo's regardless of what pads you have

well im running hawk hp+ pads up front and some ceramic pads from pepboys in the rear. the pedal feels almost like stock, nothing grabby. the dust is still there but not as bad as oem brembo pads. i will run something else next time around cuz i hate brake dust....even though i wash my car like every 2 days. lol. they do make hawk ceramic pads btw.

I checked the Projects are ~$90 for a set of 2? so $90 for each wheel? Roughly $400 for pads!? That's insane.

Or am I missing something? I'm pretty sure it's two pads per each wheel with Brembos, correct?

For all 4 wheels (or pads) and with Brembos?

Can you send a link or store where you got yours?

It's $90 for a set which covers a whole axel, which means 4 pads... 2 per wheel.

You need a set for the front and one for the rear... the 2 sets are not the same front to rear. Expect to spend about $190 to $200 for them shipped to your door.

Thanks Partyman66. I guess it's the image that's throwing me off:

Only shows two pads and does not sat 4 anywhere in the description.

i bought wagner thermo quiet about a month ago and i love them no noises and no brake dust fairly cheap also 40 for the front pads and 38 for the rear pads ive heard to not go with hawk unless u have drilled and slotted cause that pad needs alot of breathing space but whatever floats ur boat i bought them from advanced auto parts with lifetime warranty

If you're a doubting Thomas want to see them, I have a picture of what comes in the boxes from when I bought mine.

I'm too tired to post it right now though.
