front brake pad recommendations

2007 g35s..

looking to replace my front pads. i haven't checked the dealer prices yet for oem pads, but found this site: http://www.autopartsway.ca/PartList..../pagenum1/tabS

anyone have any recommendations on which pads to go with?

i'm assuming the oem ones from the dealer cost more (i'm in canada), so i'm looking to save some $$ only if the pads are as good or better than the oem ones.

I just got my fronts replaced with http://www.akebonobrakes.com/ which are slightly better than the OEM that was on there and the price was slightly lower than what the dealer was going to do for the OEM. let us know what you decide.

thanks for the suggestion, but it looks like they don't have any dealers in canada

I got akebono pads for my FX from advance auto and got them for ~$60 with coupon/discount and it had 4 pads to cover your front on both sides.

I got the Akebono Pro ACT's from Tire Rack. A good chunk to ship to Canada, but still cheaper than local.

They are quiet, my pedal is a bit soft, but I still need to bleed my brakes (this weekend).

About $166, which includes shipping, all taxes and duties for all 4 pads.
