Need help! Brake pads and rotors

Hi,
I'm looking to change my brake pads, change my brake rotors, and paint my calipers.
I have no idea where to even begin with this.
Where to go look for it, worth it to get it done from an infiniti dealership, approximate installation price, dont get cheap ones?

Here's some links to what I found on eBay that I'm considering buying:

Brake Pads:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2003-INFINITI...item2564299434

Brake Rotars:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/03-04-INFINIT...item35b63666ed
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/03-04-INFINIT...item4cfb182523

Thanks a lot!

1) where in canada are you from?

2) buying cheap brake parts off ebay is probably the worst thing you could do. Spend some money and buy something with quality, your brakes are only the most important safety part of your car. Get some rotors and pads from R1 Concepts (they even have an ebay page)

3) if you have Brembos, those rotors wouldn't even fit your car

4) Installation of all 4 corners will cost a few hundred dollars. If you are mechanically inclined then you can do it yourself, if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing then pay a mechanic

hey, thanks for the great reply!
I'm from Toronto and don't have brembos

I'm thinking of getting the oem brake pads (is it worth it?):
http://www.r1concepts.com/infiniti-g...-100.08150.htm
http://www.r1concepts.com/infiniti-g...-100.09050.htm

I also want to get rotars found here:
http://www.r1concepts.com/infiniti-g35-2003-std.htm
but I don't know what the difference is and what to go for...
cross drilled, slotted, oeq, blanks..?

Can somebody please help me out?

The R! premium rotors use a higher grade of iron and will last longer. I personally have a set of the Eline's slotted and cross drilled and they've help up really well. If your car is a daily driver then just get the plain Eline rotors, if you drive aggressively then get the slotted or cross drilled. If you want to track your car then get the Premium slotted and cross drilled
