New G37x Owner needing brake pad advice

I just bought a used G37x sedan 2 months ago (under 35,000 miles). I need to replace the rear pads but I'm not sure what brand(s) are recommended.

Please help.

Welcome to the board.

I haven't replace pads on my car yet, so I don't really pay attention to the brake posts. However, there is a search feature that can help. it's located on the right of the forum title bar.

Thanks! As with most newbies, I posted before I completely looked around and I have been reading through the Brakes & Suspension section. I think I know what I need but as this is my first luxury car, I'd like to learn as much as I can from all the members on here.

I switched out the rotors and pads on all 4 on my G37x, I got Stoptech drilled and slotted with the centric posi quiet pads, most people would go to Hawk HPS. Been working great for me and the pads were cheaper than the Hawks.

If they made the Hawk HPS 5.0 for the AWD Sedans I'd recommend them, but the Posi Quiets should be similar to OEM w/ very little dusting & noise.

I just replaced all 4 with Akebono ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramics. Nice and quiet,a good solid bite, and ZERO Brake dust so far.

I replaced front and rear with Hawk HPS on my 2012 G37x sedan and I don't recommend them. Initial bite sucks and they have been groaning when coming to a stop since a week after I installed them almost two years ago. Had the same pads on my 02 SVT Focus and they were fantastic.
