Would this be worth it?
Would you buy these or stick with something similiar to OEM

I'm about 99.9% sure those are junk..but who knows for sure...

really good brakes all the way around typically are going to run at least in the 300+ range if you shop around locally, just for parts and not cross-drilled..so something of equal quality should be more than 90 bux on ebay...

 

those would stop your car but dont look for performance out of them.

 

Try R1Concepts, had good luck with them

 

Okay i'll check that out and btw does a 05 g35x need shoes in the rear brakes?

And would these be good as well? because i can just go to their store and buy if it these are good for a set of F&R.
Thanks guys.

I would be weary of those brakes pictured. Do some research about drilled rotors and you will find out that you are taking a chance at having premature fissures/cracks. If its not a track machine, I would go with slotted rotors and steer clear of drilled. check out brakes section in tech area as well

 

drums? The rears are drum-in-disc. The drum is just for the parking brake and should be like new, mine were.

they have good rotors

 

+1 on R1. Have heard good stuff about OC.

 

Ask them who makes their blanks. If they are made by Centric, you should be okay. If not, I would pass. FYI Centric owns Power Slot and Stop Tech.

 

Wish I would've had this when I brought brakes & rotors a week ago for the rear...

 

Your 05x has the smaller rotors. It's also heavier than the RWD G sedan. The RWD G sedan's brake setup was underdesigned from a capacity standpoint.

Point: Don't cheap out on the rotors and pads for your 05X. It's needs the best quality you can give it. It relies on an aggresive pad to get it's world class performance. You need the best rotors you can buy that can stand the abuse.

I'd say Ebay won't have that type of quality available unless that's an Infiniti auction

 

+1... I previously had their rotors... tracked with em - real hard constant braking - had brake fade, but no cracks in the rotors (many drilled do crack with that kind of use).

The guy I dealt with was very, very accommodating... I don't remember his name or know if he's still there... in fact, their website was gone for a while - so its good to see that they are still around.

I recommend those rotors.

 

Unless you are driving around with the e-brake on, you should never have to change your rear drum shoes. They only hold when stationary, so there should be virtually no wear

 

This is an old thread, but not the first time I've read that people are unhappy with R1Concepts. Worth a read if you're considering them.
