My G35 coupe has 30,000 miles on it. I was told by dealer that pads and rotors will need to be replaced in about 5-7000 miles for a parts price of over $2,600.00. This is really pricie - has others found the price cheaper in aftermarket, and what was the price you found. I think $2,600. for pads/rotors in only 35,000 miles is rediculous.

Well first of all there adding in OEM parts which are expensive. If you do need to replace the rotors, front and rear should go for about under $800 for aftermarket. Like everyone does go aftermarket for the pads HAWK, Greenstuff, etc. and its much cheaper. maybe under $200 for the brake pads.
I personally don't believe your rotors need to be replaced just the pads. You can even take the rotor to some place to get it turned. Just call around asking.
Your mostly paying for the OEM and labor when it really doesn't take that long.
Good luck!

The rear pads just disintegrated at high temps on track. I checked my pads in the morning and they were practically new. I figured the fronts did most of the braking so I replaced the fronts with a higher temp pad but I was terribly mistaken. Packed a set of spare fronts with me but no rears. I lost a day of tracktime because of it.
