Damn, on your 3rd set of brakes @ 16k miles, if these rotors & pads hold up for you they'll be on my car forever, lol Sick prices for sure and they look nice, definitely update this thread as time goes on. I assume the 09 G37 RWD Sedan rotors & pads would be the same as the 07-08 G35, but they're not listed.

The Kinetic rotors and pads are mostly made in China and are sold dirt-cheap (dumped) in the U.S. to gain market share. Appears that there is a huge and growing market for performance brakes in the U.S. Cheaper for manufactures to augment their output with Chinese stuff and call them all "made in the U.S." A dirty little business secret. Having said that, they are probably excellent quality like everything else made in China. They look awesome. Kinetic rotors are advertised as being made in the US, but most are not. Personally, I don't think many people care anymore.

Here's a summary of the investigation:

^ What he said.. I need to change out my brake pads/rotors and this would be a good budget replacement. So if anyone with this setup comment here it would be greatly appreciated.

Looks Great. For the $$ a great deal!

I spent a little more, but got a good deal, mine to me look better, but they were almost triple the price. I got the Stop techs Drilled & Slotted Rotors and Posi Quiet Pad shipped for $558. I just asked what a good pad was with minimal dust and these are supposed to be good. These are zinc coated and are supposed to not rust too easily. I saw some great deals on e-bay and I bought some for my Vette like 8 years ago and they still look good, so cheap doesn't mean they are not any good.

He's still selling them on ebay for dirt cheap. A set of 4 rotors and 8 ceramic pads is going for $179.95. I wish there were some active users who could give us some feedback about how these are doing.

I'd check w/ Brakeperformance.com, several of us have them and have been happy w/ their product.
Here's a review thread~

"Cheap" is not something you wanna do with your brakes. I'd stay away from eBay and stick to the vendors on here.

Adams rotors I hear good things about, also tunerzstore has pretty good deals on Stoptech rotors/pads combos.

Please don't cheap out on rotors, braking may save your life.
