Aftermarket brakes for 07 G35s

I've had my 07 G35s for 3 years now (bought a year old). The brakes would vibrate at high speed so I changed the rotors and pads in the front and it was good, but since it's been vibrating at high speed again. I'm considering getting aftermarket rotors but not sure what would be the best option for this car. I've heard warped rotors are a common problem with the sport package and don't want to by another set if they are just going to warp again.

Any help would be appreciated!

R1Concepts Premium d/s are top quality stuff for a good price and higher grade (3500) than stock and more resistant to warpage than stocks check out some reviews on here. Slotted helps with better pad bite but will shorten pad life a little, also use ceramic pads rather than metallic mix to prolong rotors life and have MUCH less brake dust

To reduce chances of warpped rotors:
1) avoid spraying water on to the rotors when they are hot, let em cool down a bit before washing.
2) Do not over tighten lug nuts, this could cause warp as well
3) get quality chamfered drilled rotors to allow for better heat dissipation

I agree that replacing the rotors is a good option. Besides the R1's, StopTech makes a darn good rotor too.




kool, as the old saying goes: "Speak of the devil, and he's sure to appear".
