Won $2500 in Infiniti lawsuit!

I was told by the lawyers today that I have been awarded $2500 in the lawsuit against Infiniti for the brake defect lawsuit! The scumbag lawers brought a Class Action against Infiniti for the 2003-2004 G35 brake defect. The California Judge decided against the Class Action, but did award the plaintifs, which include me, $2500 in damages for owning a defective auto! He he he

The scumbag lawers trolling for work posted here on G35Driver last year...or the year before. It was a very long time ago. I volunteered my Infiniti reciets for new rotors every 30K miles and pads every 15K miles. I was one of a handfull of plaintifs, representing the class. The class action was thrown out, but the individual plaintifs were awarded $2500 each.

I'm leaning pretty heavy on a front BBK upgrade. The 2003 brakes are pretty good for stopping, but I am getting pretty tired of replacing the rotors every 30K miles.

My opinion

Hey Cato, congratulations! I am very happy for you.

I would highly recommend a big brake kit. Your car already has some great mods for handling.

Better brakes will help you in many ways: 1- From a purely safety standpoint, they will pay themselves off with avoiding even one accident. 2- They will give you a lot more confidence when driving in a "spirited" way. The assurance of knowing you can stop quickly when you need to is an amazingly comforting thing. I wouldn't dare drive the way I do without the bigger Z32 brakes which are on my car now.

Bigger or better brakes brakes are usually the first mod I recommend to everyone because of its impact of increased safety.

Happy spending!

P.S. Make sure to use stainless steel lines and while you're at it, use a slightly better brake fluid.

John,

Yeah, I hear you. The SS brake lines are included in most of the BBK I have looked at so far. Stillen adds Motul Brake fluid with their set. I just need to figure out which BBKs will fit my stock 17" wheels.
