$900 and need new brakes and pads

Hey guys, just a quick question that I would like many opinions on..

So I have a $900 budget to spend on brakes and pads for my 08 G37S..
That being said I obviously would like a tremendous brake setup with quality rotors and pads..

Currently I am looking at the EBC rotors with EBC green stuff pads.. But am wondering if there are any less expensive ones that meet EBC's quality.. I am willing to spend all $900 with parts and labor but would prefer great brakes and pads and some money to save out of that $900. PLEASE PUT YOUR INPUT, I have done my research but would love second opinons!!

Did you get a quote from an Infiniti dealer?

I think the whole point was the OP didn't want to go OEM.

Perhaps but it doesn't hurt to compare prices.

On my previous 06 G35 6sp the OEM brakes gave me 85k miles.
The pads were replaced and the rotors turned for $510 (2009) at the dealer
Those pads were still on the car when I traded it in at 171796 miles so the OEM pads were good to me.

How much are OE rotors?

Vast majority of rotors are Chinese made garbage. Ditto anything " cross drilled ".

OE rotors and your pad of choice. The OE/Nismo/R-Spec pads are ~ $ 200.

Otherwise project mu or endless pads.

In my opinion the OE rotors are junk if you are going to do any real spirited driving.
