I had Metal Masters pads and they made a ton of dust, but didn't stop any better. I wish someone made a pad that swept more area of the rotor. It seems that there is at least a half inch more that the pad, oem or otherwise, could make contact closer to the center of the rotor. Only half of my cross drilled holes are in play!

I always wanted brakes that stopped better than OE and left very little dust on my Volk wheels plus lasting a very long time! The DBA rotors and HAWK HPS pads I recommended do all these things. You don't want ceramic pads! Don't believe me check the HAWK comparison on www.thetirerack.com...Gary

You're thinking like an Nineiron, coming up short! You either love what you drive and want it to be better or stick with OE crappy (your words) rotors. OE parts are better than cheap crap, low quality rotors you'll find on line and at auto parts stores. My coupe is ten years old, I wouldn't degrade her abilities by installing less than quality parts!

No different than OEM really for my use.
Low dust, good initial cold bite. Satisfied with brake performance even after repeated stops. No noise at all. They have held up fine and I have a number of miles on them. Have to search through my records to give you an accurate number, but I think I installed the fronts 40K miles ago and the rears 20K miles ago. Not 100% sure, but I drive a LOT so the mileage gets up there. I inspected them over the weekend and still plenty of pad material. They *may* be a bit more aggressive on the rotors, but I chuck my rotors out each brake job anyway and get new ones.
I'm using the ProACT's. Got them off rockauto.com
I'd buy them again. My use is pretty much just aggressive street driving. I use my brakes hard and wanted to try something different than OEM. I have 150K miles on my car and still going, so i've done a few brake jobs.
As for rotors, i've run OEM, Centric, Stoptech so far. I felt the Centric's resisted pad deposition "warping" better of the 3 and noticed very little "warp" feel when hard braking with those rotors. Next brake job I'll probably go with those or try the DBAs rotors. I do not like Hawk pads. I've always had noise issues when i ran them on other cars and personally can't stand brake squeal.

Yea I was gonna post a thread LIKE this I have had my g35 07 sedan for more than 3 months been a little aggressive with it lately I got sport rims as well wanted to know it brakes just fine but it used to brake a bit smoother I know I can upgrade to hawk pads I have always wanted I think the rotors will be costly what do you recommend taking a look at the pad and rotors.
