My front rotors are starting to look pretty bad and I do not feel like it grips the same anymore. The rears, on the other hand, are looking clean. I am planning on replacing the rotors and pads with Power Stop Street Warrior slotted and cross drilled kit. I drive the crap out of it on the street so good brakes matter to me. Here are my questions:

1. Have anyone had any experience with that brand or kit? It seems to get great reviews online.
2. Other than for looks, is it cost effective relative to performance to replace the rears as they seem fine and smooth?

http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/77A7088A3835238.aspx -- Its about $200 for fronts only and $407 for both shipped.

 

I actually just installed these myself about a week ago and they went on easy. i went with all 4 and everything seems great and fit nice. they make a little noise due to the slots and drilled holes but once they wore in the noise seemed to go away. they look great and my stopping power does feel a little more increased. make sure if u haven't signed up for autanything already that you do so. they sent me a 15% gift code and mine came out to about $335 shipped. or maybe i found a 20% gift code. i can't remember but overall i think a great option over the OEM ones.

 

Do you have an "S"? On the website it looks like its only for "Journey" trim... I saw that after I posted.

 

I have an 08 G35S and I'm looking at these as well and it does look like there is a different part # for our S trim (K2862). Found them on rockauto for about $350

 

Not a fan of cheap brakes, get someones opinion that's had them on for over a year. Drilled rotors unless they're high quality will leave you in a ditch on a cold rainy night miles from home! Check out our Marketplace under vendor brakes, they sell only the good stuff...Gary

 

Check for warranty. I bought drilled and slotted with a lifdtime warranty for warping and cracking.stoptech has no warranty. So look around.you will find what you want.

 

Okay this is on topic and at the same time off.. didn't want to make a new thread so here it goes.
My neighbor has an 04 G35 6MT coupe w/ brembos. I have an 05 5AT with standard brake kit.
I asked him if he would be interested in trading brake kits with cash on my side of course. He said he would be fine with it, but how would I do the change? Is it just the brakes, or do I have to change rotors and injectors?

 

Rotors, calipers (incl pads) I believe the brake lines are the same...injectors?

----- Did you mean Stoptech OR PowerStop has no warranty? -----



So since I've posted this I've been doing some research and here is what I found so far:

- NO DRILLED ROTORS, SLOTTED ONLY.
- POWERSTOP HAS SHORT LONGEVITY ACCORDING TO MANY REVIEWS I FOUND THAT ARE NOT FROM PEOPLE WHO JUST INSTALLED THEM.

I am leaning towards StopTech slotted rotors and StopTech pads. More expensive, but I only need the front, so for around $300 I can have that. Any opinions?

 

^^^^ What he said. ^^^^ Good breaks INJECT smiles, keep the same INJECTORS

 

Rollaspeed, better yet check our Marketplace for DBA rotors and Hawk HPS brake pads. It doesn't get any better, stopping power and very low brake dust plus they look

Okay cool, I think i can do all that myself. And yeah sorry it was like at 4 am I really didn't know what i was talking about but thanks guys! still new here!
