You've gotta be driving pretty hard to go through em that quickly.

they actually manufacture a lot of OEM brake parts for different makes. they manufacture the BBK for the G37S. good stuff.

Good pads-- low noise, low dust, good braking distance wet or dry. I've been running them for awhile and can't tell the difference in performance to OEM, but then again, I drive like an old man in a hat! Tire-rack may give them a review also.
