Same here, what a difference. And the stopping power seems to be the same.

They only make front ones? That's messed up.

Yeah.. I kinda want to wait until I can get a matched set of pads so I don't screw with the front-to-rear brake bias.

Re: CANT TAKE THE BRAKE DUST ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I installed Metal Matrix Pads all around. Should have done it sooner.

Low (almost no dust), the low speed "grab" is gone, equal or better stopping power from higher speeds, more linear braking and no noticeable increase in rotor wear.

I'm sure there's other good aftermaket pads out there. These have met my needs and they were real reasonable $$$ wise.

Re: CANT TAKE THE BRAKE DUST ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so besides the statisfied pro ceramics and the metal matrix pads, what other brake pads are people replacing theirs with? or are those only for the coupe? i want to make sure i get it right before infiniti sends me a letter for my next check-up. [img]/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

yeah, every time i hit the brakes i can feel another layer of crap being coated on.

Re: CANT TAKE THE BRAKE DUST ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I replaced mine with EBC Green Stuff pads it cut the dust by about 60%.

I don't think these pads were designed for the G35. They have a clip that kinda just hangs and doesn't lock into anything.

I think these pads fit but were designed for a nissan maxima.
