Brake Pads
Anyone have any suggestions on dust free (or very little dust) brakes pads for the G Coupe (non-brembos). I did a quickie search in this forum and there was one suggestion to try Satisfied pads from Tirerack. Has anyone tried them or another brand, if so, was it a major improvement over the oem? The reg pads only take about a month before they look like the above. Main pic taken from my friend's G35 (really, I swear!). Thanks.

"Only a month?"
Try less than a week. [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
Use the search feature on this site and look for "brake dust" and you should find lots of suggestions. I'm still using the dealer-supplied free-replacement pads myself. That issue has been talked to death, and there are quite a few suggestions.

Re: Brake Pads
The major downside with after markets is the shift of cold starting point friction higher up the scale. To gain some at >600F point
Most start working well at 100F instead of oem requirements for an effective 1st stop at 10F.........in cold weather you have to remember to constantly preheat the pads by applying brakes lightly and frequently if you expect oem cold stopping distances in emergencies.
Federal testing starts at 100F, unfortunately there are no standards for colder than this braking except vehicle manufacturers internal requirements.
So aftermarket companies call COLD................... 100F
