"Breaks" is actually spelled BRAKES

The red is not just a cover. It is the color of the caliper. Probably going to run you around $1800 for the complete set.

All the information you need can be found by looking in our MARKETPLACE under vendor brakes. Some have prices while other vendors want you to PM them for that information, plus it's good to communicate with someone about what you really need.... I'll probably go with DBA rotors when I do my brakes next....summers end. I'll pass on your comment about caliper covers!

I don't think anyone is really clear on what you're looking for. If I am understanding you need new pads and red caliper covers that look like brembos?


Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

So....all you really need is pads? Again, check with our MARKETPLACE under brake vendors and pickup some HAWK HPS pads. While you have your G up on jack stands install the pads then you can clean your calipers and paint them with hi-heat paint available everywhere. Make sure you mask off your rotors and everything else you don't want to be red. Let it dry for an hour and you're back on the road. Fake caliper covers are really bad news, you drive a cool ride don't cheapen it with junk....

Let's get some questions out of the way so that we can help you.
What year is your car?
Mileage?
Sport package or not?
Do you track or race your G?
Were the brakes sufficient for your needs?
Rear,front or all brakes needed?

Oh I see, well you have several options depending on you budget.

If you just want something a little stronger but strapped for cash you can upgrade to the dual piston caliper fronts and bigger rotors in the rear with the 05-07 g35 coupe brakes.

or find some used brembos for around $1100

or purchase an akebono kit for around $2100
