This is very interesting; sounds like I need to kick this around a bit more. Maybe stalling for time (until some 2-piece units come out!?) by sacrificing one set of pads and seeing how it goes. Even if what you say about our brakes is true though, and considering mine is a daily driver and not tracked, wouldn't you still say that a quality set of slotted rotors would be more impervious to pad transfer, and the consequent judder, than the smooth oem rotors, just by their very nature (being slotted) . . . regardless of pads used??

As far as pad choices, I got some EBD (Red) pads which are undoubtedly not as soft as the stock pads. In your opinion, would they alone eradicate my brake judder assuming I had the stock rotors cleaned up ?

And does anyone think I might be able to con a dealership into turning the rotors for free (at 30K miles) under a judder complaint?? I want to do the brake job myself with my own aftermarket shoes...just have them turn the rotors as I believe the TSB calls out an "on-car" brake lathe for turning the rotors. Maybe too much to ask, probably send them into to overload.

Kevin@us-autotech can get the Stoptech PowerSlot Rotors for the V36 sedan sport

Stoptech Powerslot Rotors:
Front - 126.42095SL/SR -
Rear - 126.42095SL/SR -

You can pm him for pricing, but the f/r set should come in under $500. He indicated the the rear part # is a valid number but not yet in the catalog. No official specs on weight for the rears. Fronts are around 26#. Anyone know what the stock front sports rotors weigh?

You can certainly just try the pads by itself, especially since you already have it. If your re-surfaced OEM rotors are truly the culprit, then it will warp again in short time. Speaking of which, some dealerships will turn your rotors for free, never hurts to ask. At worst, you'll spend about $10-$15/rotor for it to be turned.

Slotted rotors were made to help gas build-up between pad and rotor escape, it does have "scraping" abilities so to speak because of the edges on each slot, but my experience with slot+OEM rotors on prior cars tell me it doesn't help with preventing uneven pad transfer.

Thanks for all the input you guys, looks like there are some choices out there....just not lightweight ones yet.

any feedback for Stillen one pc rotors ?

I have looked all over the internet and these are the best one piece slotted rotors that I have found for the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35S (Sport sedan). They are made by a well recognized manufacturer. I have a 2008 Infiniti G35S 5AT and dealer turned my rotors once already and the shuttering is back again, I think the OEM rotors and pads are garbage. If anyone can find them cheaper than this please post a link.

I found them cheaper with free shipping

If you can settle for blank Centric Premium's, TR has them rather cheap:

Rockauto.com has premium Centrics even cheaper, $67 front and $45 rear. For AWD part #'s are different, 120.42088 rear, 120.42080 front (verified at Centric site). Shipping was nearly $30 for me but there's a 5% off coupon 27243152253089 that subtracts $10 or so (paste it in their "where did you hear about us" section - exp. 3/28). Total cost front and rear is $247 shipped.

I bit the bullet and bought them... stockers are on their last breath, judder is back which means they are about to crap out and I am not turning them again. Most likely it had to do with low quality OEM rotors (poor iron & temp distrib ution characteristics) used with soft OEM pads which resulted in irreversible pad material transfer

Centrics will go nicely with Hawk HPS pads.

Im in the market for new rotors also and was wonder if anyone has any input on these http://www.r1concepts.com/INFINITI/G...esultsPage.htm also has anyone brought any of those sets posted all over ebay?

I just ordered a set of the Rotora drilled/slotted rotors front and rear, kind of pricey but nice. The 2009 Infiniti G37 Journey (Non-Sport model) rotors are the same front and rear as the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35S.

Are you guys putting in the splash guards (front only) that is in the TSB for brake judder?

I bought the R1 Premium drilled/slotted a couple months ago and so far so good. Got rid of the stock rotor vibration/judder during high speed braking so I'm happy. They look good and the price is right. I bought direct from R1.

I am planning on getting..StopTech sportstop rotors and HAWK HPS pads..
anyone tried this combo before?

What pads did you go with?
