Hello everyone!
I have a 2008 G35 sedan with 88000 miles. It's time to replace my second set of front rotors: the first pair, the original ones were first cut (at 32,000), then replaced under warranty (TSB) at 45,000. The second pair, the current rotors were also resurfaced at 68,000 and now they need to be replaced. All - for the same problem, brake judder. I really like the OEM braking pads (big improvement comparing to my old 2004 G35): they last reasonably long, provide a decent braking power even when cold, have a good pedal feeling and generate very little dust. But the OEM rotors are rather weak and tend to get warped too easily.
Has anyone had any experience of matching the OEM pads with StopTech or Centric rotors sold at Tirerack? I'm looking for regular rotors (not slotted/drilled). So Centric seems like a good choice. If that is, they are selling Plain, High Carbon Plain and High Carbon Plain Cryo Treated, which one would be a better fit? I don't race this car on track but drive it very spiritually and don't want to give up any fun as well as quietness of OEM brakes.
Thank you for your feedback.

 

Yeah, I have heard that when racers get in the zone it can be a very Zen-like experience. I bet if one tries really hard, they can even experience it while sitting in the lotus position while parked in the garage. ( jk )

I think you'd be fine with the centric blanks. If you want to spring for the cryo treatment, it's up to you, but I don't know if you'll get a proportionate return on the investment.

 

Might want to PM KNS Brakes, a vendor on the site, here's a pretty nice deal w/ Stoptech Pads (for your spiritual moments) might get an even better price if you send him a PM.

Also check out r1concepts iv been very happy with them

 

Centric Premium Rotor blanks...had them and never had any issues...much better than OEM with pad deposit "warping" issue.

 

I too would recommend you switch over to Stoptech street pads.
