When my G35X arrives in December, I plan to immediately replace the pads with either kevlar or ceramic pads and the tires with 235/50/17 Michelin Sport A/Ss. I may also add stiffer sway bars, based on the amount of body roll. When the original rotors wear out/warp, I'll replace them with better quality rotors. I basically did the same thing with my Audi A4. I took off the terrible Goodyear RSAs at 1500 miles and put on Pirelli P7000 Super Sports. Shortly thereafter I got sick and tired of the brake dust and put on EBC kevlar brakes (no dust and better braking, especially in cold).

 

I used the ceramic pads on my fronts for a couple of thousand miles first. Yesterday I put on stillen xdrilled/slotted rotors and ebc green stuff pads on the front. I do have the rear rotors as well but I didnt put them on yet. I am going to get a oem pad replacements first and then do the rear. From what I know EBC doesnt make the rears yet. After one day of driving around on the new rotors I definatelly feel a difference in breaking power and I havent really used them hard yet, they say to take it easy for 50-100 miles. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR RIMS GET RID OF THE STOCK FRONT PADS!! The rears aint bad at all. I also got stoptech stainless brake lines which I havent put on yet. After I have it all on and about 100 miles on the setup I will post a review with pics. And btw the stillen rotors do look sweet.

 

you said get rid of stock front pads. does this apply to brembos

Not sure, but I think the brembo oem ones have crazy dust like the ones I got on the 5AT.

 

I got the rotors and the lines from kastleskorner.com. They took forever to ship my stuff. I got it about a month later. The rotors were 300 for front and 270 for real, the stoptech lines 95 front and 76 rear. the front ebc pads about 85 i forgot where i got them. I am going to use a new set of oem pads for rear.

 

the dust is annoying but i can handle that, don't want damaged rotors
