Ok, so I've been experiencing the dreaded brake shudder problem. I took my car in about 6 months ago, and they had it for over 5 hours trying to figure out the problem. Since it took so long for them to figure out the problem, I couldnt' stay and have it fixed that day. My service rep told me there was a tsb on a backing plate issue, and they would fix it for me next time in. Well I took it back yesterday, and now their saying since I'm out of warranty, they won't cover it, and they want $660 to turn the front rotors and install the backing plate/splash guards. Well the heck with that after reading all the posts about the problem recurring shortly after repair. So I'm looking at aftermarket rotors and pads. I know there are lots of posts out there, but my question is:

Since I have the 2008 G35XS, am I looking for the rotors for the AWD, or the rotors for the Sport version. I'm guessing the AWD, want was hoping someone on here could confirm before I order.

Thanks.

 

check the forum vendors here, they should be able to answer u

 

I'm pretty sure the xS has the same brakes as the regular x. According to Hawk at least...

 

^ yup they are the same

 

What kind of aftermarket rotors are you going with?

 

I just got Centric/Stoptech 120.42080 for my x. Putting them and Hawk yellow box brakes on this weekend.

 

When you first brought the car in for the shuddering and they couldn't get the work done that day, were you still under warranty? If so, they should have to fix the brakes under warranty. The date/mileage that matters is when the problem was reported, not when taken in to get fixed.

But, if you don't want to go through the hassle of taking on the dealer, than stoptech and hawk are a good combo. I'm gonna be doing those when I need new brakes.
