2008 G35x Sedan Brakes - DIY & Parts

Hey Folks, I'm going through my 90k maintenance, brakes, fluids, etc. I'm leveraging quite a few DIY Threads at various places. I did my front brakes and rotors tonight and I didn't see a thread for 2008 Sedan (Stock brakes). Found a good (Similar) write up on another forum I wanted to share.

http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/g35...brake-job.html

Def saved me $300 for around 1.5 hr job.

Ordered several parts off Amazon as well (Not sure on best price)
Front:
Centric Parts 120.42080 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating - (Front Rotors, order 2) - $59 ea
StopTech 309.08880 Street Performance Front Brake Pad - (Front Brakes, order 1) - $62 for the set (of 4 pads)

Rear
Centric Parts 120.42088 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating (Rear Rotor, order 2) - $44 ea
StopTech 309.09050 Street Performance Rear Brake Pad (Rear Brakes, Order 1) - $47

Hope this helps!

EDIT: I see that in the write up. "4> Remove the 14mm bolts on the back of the caliper that that hold it to the mounting plate.The rear calipers bottom bolt will not clear the trailing link until you remove the caliper mounting plate."

I'm going to be trying to rear brakes this upcoming weekend, hopefully they werent to bad after you got that mounting plate off? Thanks for the heads up though!

Anyone know if I should use Anti Seize on the actual bolts holding the caliper on? I only saw it mentioned for the rotor. (ex 22mm & 14 mm).

I'm going to try to bleed all the brakes and flush the system as well, got a 1 man bleeder bottle to help out.
