Reccomendations on Brakes please

It's sounding like its time to get the brakes done so I've been looking around. Not looking to go crazy and put on wildwoods or anything but maybe something a little sexier so have looked at Power Stop.


I've seen mixed reviews on them, do they hold up for typical daily(slight aggressive) driving? Am I better off just going with std replacements?

For my 2010 G37xS

I too have been looking into aftermarket rotors, I havent personally delt with or heard of Power Stop but I did come across these Brakenetic ones that really caught my eye with the tripe cross drill

Might want to check brakeperformance.com I've got them and quite a few here do as well. Here's a thread about them

My opinion would be that if you are not going with a real upgrade (read: 2 pc rotors and big, high performance calipers beyond OEM Akebonos), just get regular Centric plain rotors, change the fluid, and a good set of brake pads. You might be surprised at which higher priced "performance" rotors are actually just Centric blanks that are private labeled and dressed up by machining holes and slots into them. They won't stop you any shorter and any heat dissipation at all will be minimal to the point that it won't make any real difference whatsoever. Purely cosmetic.

WHS^^
I got the slotted/drilled brakeperformance rotors because I liked the look, but as far as actual braking performance it's not any better than OEM, but because I have the Stoptech pads the braking isn't worse
For my BBK setup I'm just going w/ the Centric blanks

I dont have a sport but also saw the BRAKENETIC. Unlike some the the cheaper ebay rotors they are I guess rated a grade g3500 compared to the g3000. Maybe a little better with some decent pads?
