I'm the kind of person that enjoys driving like i'm at a track everywhere I go. Which means I brake hard as hell.

Example: I had my stock rotors and pads changed last year at this time. After one year, they are warped to hell.

I want a set of rotors and pads that won't break the bank, but will do one hell of a job staying cool braking from 120-0 everyday and last.

Any suggestions?

 

Akebono BBK for the G37.

 

Judging from the way you drive, the culprit is your OEM pads. They're not meant for your type of driving, so it'll deposit uneven material onto the rotors which would explain the warped feeling.

Get better pads.

And dare i ask? Where in SJC do you drive daily at 120? If this wasn't just figurative, you'll need to get a real BBK like AP Racing or Stoptech.

 

Nice, now all the cops know your route and timing

 

Dang! I'll change my time to 6:01am

 

so stock rotors with stoptech pads? Or stoptech all around?

Links to any suggestions/parts would be cool.

 

As someone else suggested, your rotors probably weren't warped, just had deposits. I'm also heavy on brakes , and recently had some vibration. Had the rotors turned and they're good as new.

 

I'll turn my rotors and get some stoptech pads. Thanks guys!

Lastly, Would slotted/cross drilled rotors help any? Or they just for show?

 

Yeah the stoptechs are great. if you can afford it get two piece calipers too. The racing break ones are good

 

Do you have the sport model or standard?

 

Am I the only one who thinks a proper suggestion would be to stop driving like an idiot on public roads because you are going to either kill yourself or someone else? It doesn't matter what time of day it is... Come on, man.

 

I'm going to throw in the best brake system ever. Endless. It will run you about 8-12k but it's worth it.

 

I have a g37S tyler.

From the no suggestions on rotors, I take it that the stock ones are fine and pads are a good way to go. I'll order some stoptech tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 

Yes, you should. I do. I also have a dashcam to document all the crazy drivers around me.

I do a lot of early drives myself and have learned over the past two decades that there is no such thing as an empty road. Yes, there may be no cars, but have seen everywhere from small birds to deer, cow's to horses that just rush in front of you, on an interstate, only to have their guts splattered all over the place. Ever saw a long line of snaking intestines lining several lanes before? Not a pretty sight. Even closed race circuits are prone to that random act of nature.

By Stoptech, i meant the actual BBK, not just the pads. Granted, i use their Street Performance pads, it's really only good for the occasional light track day. The way you make it sound you're either there on a daily basis, or worse.

If you just want to switch pads, try looking into the Carbotech line-up. You can go from light street to all-out track without having to resurface your rotors between any of them. Basically you can switch from, say, a Bobcat for light street, to an XP12 for heavy track all in the same day and vice versa without resurfacing as the compounds are compatible with each other.

 

If you drive like a moron on public roads, at least try not to be even more of a moron and post about it. It will get you banned from this forum.

Let this be your last post of that nature. And start posting your threads in the proper forum instead of putting them all in the G37 Coupe forum, I'm tired of moving them. Thanks.
