I have an '04 6MT G35 Coupe, with 18' sports package wheels w/ brembos. I have around 25k miles and my brakes are making a loud noise while driving and while applying brakes. I took it to the dealer, and they said i need to replace my rotors and brake pads as they are in real bad shape. They, of course, quoted me a large price. Menieke has quoted to replace my front 2 rotors and all 4 brake pads for 1/3rd the price of what the dealer gave. They said they will give warrantly on the rotors and brake pads. Would you guys recommend using Meineke, or shall I just purchase the pads and rotors online? Meineke will most likely use non-Brembo rotors, and they said they are going to install semi-metallic brake pads.

Please advise and let me know your thoughts...My car is currently in no driving condition. the brakes and rotors are grinding metal to metal.

THANKS!!

 

on line, get the parts, and do it yourself or have an independent mechanic install them. This link is only for the pads but...

brakes are brakes... if you don't want to do them have any shop you trust do them... and buy your own brakes online.

rotors can be re-surfaced once so you probably don't need to buy them..

all you need is the pads.. go for something like hawks or project mu.... cheaper and your not sacrificing performance.

 

EverythingG35 has the best prices on brembo pads. I think I will buy from him when I need mine. Mine squeak almost everytime I brake, but I checked them and they are still fine. You should check your brakes every few months, and don't wait till they get to metal to metal.

 

the squeaking is so aggravating... honestly I think it stops when the pads start being low lol... atleast that was in my case.. when they start being low the squeaking stops.

 

lol hahaha I'll be sure to check my brakes once I stop hearing them. thnx lol
