Hey Neal, I actually think you sold me my first set of wheels when I brought my G back in 05.

What brake/rotor combination would you recommend for mainly street use, but building my car toward one day doing a little track work? Installed Vortech, osiris tune, borla exhaust. Also, do we get a discount buying from you? I was just at your site ready to purchase, but decided to check here first? This is what I picked out?

The DBA rotors are some of, if not the best, rotors we carry. Will have no issue with street and a bit of track use. May want to look into the Hawk HPS pads for some better stopping power on the track. Ceramic will work well for low dust and noise, but aren't designed for the higher temps you'll see on the track. Best I can do is pricing we have listed online.

Thanks Neal, but I'm mostly street, and read somewhere the HPS were noiser than the ceramic pads

They will, but no more than the oem pads from what I found. I had the HPS on my 6MT back in the day and I didn't think they made a lot of noise.

Hi Neal, I'm looking for some tire size alternatives for my 2005 G35 Sport. Stock tire is a 235/45R18, but the selection is rather limited in this size. Can you suggest some alternative sizes that will fit the stock wheels well, while expanding my choices? Thank you!

Price shipped to 15090 for the Centric Premuim rotors (front)? BTW, will the black paint survive brutal, salty winters in the NE?

Thanks

Pretty common alt size would be 245/45-18. Lots to choose from in that fitment.

Looking at $122.45 shipped on a pair. Haven't had any issues with the coating coming off in poor weather areas.

Yup. Almost all sizes we carried are now extinct.

Neal, for the 04 sedan, which rotors will not turn to rust but will maintain their silverish color despite salty winter conditions? Thanks

The Power Slot and Centric Premium rotors have a black coating that will not rust. The fire path, or area where the pads touch, will wear away the coating but hat, cooling fins, backside, etc will all stay coated.
