Not sure which site that is. Most sites allow you to put in your car and it will give you the correct brakes.. ^ re-read blnewt's post, he clarified the correct size you need for non-Akebono
I might also suggest reaching out to the folks at KNS Brakes.. They can size you up perfect and ship what you need. Also I would highly recommend you get the cryogenic treated rotors. They have better resistance to heat spots and subsequent brake judder.

That's Autoanything.com, I love that site. But as BLnewt said since you don't have the Akebonos you'll go with the 330mm front and rear. Also, any reason why your getting drilled and slotted? Unless you are tracking your car OFTEN you should stick with just slotted. The holes are actually going to take away a lot of contact area for the pad surface and will essentially HURT your braking. On some not so rare occasions they tend to crack around the drilled holes too. Looks wise yeah, they are agressive looking but slotted look great as well.. Cant go wrong either way but figured I'd chime in.

Drilled rotors do NOT reduce brake efficiency they enhance it by cooling the rotor. Braking ability is a function of swept area not surface area, that's why the sport brake rotors are 14 inches vs 13 inches for the base brakes. Using the notion that drilled rotors hurt efficiency this motorcycle would take about 2000 feet to stop, which couldn't be further from the truth. It will lift the back tire with one finger on the brake lever from 160 miles an hour lap, after lap, after lap.

Lets not get into a debate, this is a huge question and no one can ever agree, because no one is right or wrong. For a daily driver I personally don't see any reason for drilled OR slotted. He said he would never take it to the track, ever.. Your analogy of a motorcycle at 160MPH slowing very rapidly makes perfect sense but doesn't at all fit this conversation. If I was pushing the brake pedal to the ground from 160 then sure, dissipate the heat asap (slots) and clean the pad of pad debri (drilled).. He doesn't need performance rotors to go to the dry cleaners.
On a side note, I checked out your build thread. If you don't live too far from the St. Louis area you should bring your car to the next Gateway Z Club car show at Bommarito Nissan in September. It would be nice to see more nicely done, clean G37s there. Yours definitely qualifies, nice coupe.

i have a 2012 G37s Coupe with sport, nav and prem packages.. my rotors are shot at only 35k miles and I'm in need of new ones. I was thinking of getting the Stop Tech slotted since I've heard nothing but good things about them. I have the large calipers, and I'm looking for a good price on a set of 4 with new pads (BBK). Do any of you know of a good place to find and at a good price? Im a total newbie, thanks in advance.
