I'm expecting to replace the rear pads and front pads and rotors on my X coupe before I take my car to Watkins Glen for a two day event in August.

I have a very limited budget, so switching calipers isn't a possibility, and everything needs to fit in the stock 18" X wheels I use for winters.

What pads / rotors / fluid should I be looking at?

 

Look for Brakemotive on eBay. Since you're in a budget those will work great. Good quality rotors too. As for brake fluid, go for broke. Motul RBF600.

 

check out brakeperformance.com too

 

My rotors from Brakemotive warped in a little over 10k miles. The second set warped even faster...I have had them turned and they are beginning to judder slightly again already.

I am about to switch to R1Concepts or Brakeperformance...haven't decided which to try yet...

This is on an 07 G35 Sport...

 

Go to stop tech web site. They have a great slotted rotor with hawk pads, S.S. brake lines and high temp fluid, like motul... Great budget upgrade to the G's with the base brakes... Should easily cover most novice drivers at a HSDE.

Edit: you'll probably only need new front rotors, since they do do most of the work and take most of the abuse. But change all the pads.

 

Just checked concetpz site.
240 front slotted rotors
80 ss front brake lines
125 hawk brake pads
? On motul...

 

I need to do the same thing in the next month looking at:

Akebono Pro Act Pads rockauto
ACT888 Front 64.99
ACT905 Rear 45.99

Centric Rotors Tire Rack
120.42088 - Premium rear 69 ea
120.42080 - Premium front 47 ea

Rockauto 111 Plus Ship
Tire Rack 232 Plus Ship
total 343 plus ship

 

Thanks for the assistance.

I ordered Motul 660 fluid which probably excessive, but only $10 more than the Motul 600, and AkeBono ProAct pads. I took a look at the rotors, and they look practically new, so am not replacing them at this point. I suspect the previous owner replaced them shortly before their lease ended, or Infiniti replaced them to meet the certified used requirements.
