Well it would have been nice to know if it was an "S" model or not. Now it depends on what you're going to be doing with the car to warrant the large cost for this brake enhancement. I hope it wasn't just for the bling of the look but that you're seriously thinking of using the car with brakes like these for more than just street driving. So give us a little more on how you're going to use the car. From there I'm sure there will be plenty of recommendations for pads.

Car is a sport model coupe... Well I'm not going to track it much if that is what your reffering to... My rotors and pads r pretty shot so I need to replace them... Would rather put on quality **** then go OEM again as their rotors r garbage... I already ordered the stop tech rotors now just deciding on pads

Check out adamsrotors.com I just found it the other day and they seem to have great reviews. They are customize able rotors with great performance at an even better price. I messaged the vendor with a couple questions and he responded promptly. I'll probably purchase rotors/pads in the spring when I do the brakes.

We have clearance DBA 4000 series rotors in stock and ready to ship. These rotors are for the G37S. These would be a step above the Stoptech Powerslot Rotors.

For your pad selection, Hawk HPS are always a safe bet, they bite, low dust, low noise.

Another pad you I would recommend is the Stoptech SP pad. Very comparable to the HPS just a little bit cheaper.

You have a 2012, and the brakes are shot?

There's nothing wrong with OEM sport brakes.
I have a 2010, drive it like I stole it, and still have plenty of life!!

Just get the Akebono ACT pads for the street.

I have OE rotors with Hawk pads and they work very well. At some point I will be changing out to Adams Rotors.
Because I need them to stop better? NO. Because they look that damn good.

But The OE setup does very well. These car have some nice brakes!

tunerzstore.com quoted me the cheapest price for stoptech slotted/drilled rotors with a full set of hawk hps pads back in june when i was looking. ended up purchasing that setup from them and lemme tell ya, they work awesome.

oh....and make sure you do the proper break-in runs.....it was really fun.
