Will this brake set fit my G37S Sedan?
Hello,
I've got a 2011 G37S Sedan RWD 6MT and need to replace brakes on all 4 wheels.
From the factory, it came with the Akebono big brake package, so I'd like to replace them with quality as well.
I'm looking to get this full brake set (4 rotors + 8 pads):
GMC K2500 1995 - [Full Set] 4 Performance Rotors and 8 Premium Ceramic Pads for a Nissan Infiniti SCD888PR41377
Price seems very reasonable, especially compared to what local mechanics are quoting me.
- Will this fit my particular year, model and trim?
- Is this a genuine Brembo brake set?
- How will this set compare to the Akebonos I had?
Thanks!

What the hell is a "CHEVROLET UPLANDER 2006 [Full Set] 4 Performance Rotors and 8 Premium Ceramic Pads for a Nissan Infiniti"?
There is so much wrong here, I would not buy anything from them.
Also, the price is WAY too low... $190 for 2 sets of pads, and 4 rotors? They must be VERY, very poor quality.
PLUS, the pads pictured are not for the sport package.
Don't cheap out on brakes, it can cost you a lot of frustration and money when they need to be re-done a few months later.
Many folks here like the Centric rotors... I like OEM.

- It's some website algorithm/coding glitch when you post links. When I posted the link on FB, it said Toyota Matrix, so I don't think that's an issue.
- Most people in my local FB group are quoting me below $400 after taxes with installation. That sounds about right, since the shops are telling me labour is like $180 or so.
- I have a very good friend whose father does all maintenance himself for his cars. He's been ordering from this website for a while, says it comes right to your door and he's satisfied with the quality.

Yeah, for your quality Akebono brake set I would go w/ Sonics recommendation. You won't have to change them in a long time, might as well spend a bit more and be assured you're getting the good stuff. Centric Premium Rotors have good rust prevention and better venting vs. OEM and they are the parent company of Stoptech which is a very reputable brake brand.

Just to give you an idea, a quality sport package rotor is about $100 each, pads are around $100 per axle. I believe if it is too good to be true, it is.
Please be careful with these brakes.

are you looking for worse performance or just trying to save money?
if money is the issue maybe trade in the entire car for something more affordable because of all the things to skimp on brakes are not what I would choose when quality is not very much to begin with. And OEM on the S package cars is pretty damn good IMO.
YMMV

Obviously I'm not trying to trade in the entire car or I would not have bought it in the first place. I just have a life outside of "dat G lyfe" and am not obsessed with my car, just trying to be reasonable with replacement parts. Obviously nobody is looking for worse performance either. Chose your words. I'm not asking you for life or financial advice, I'm asking for brands/options/comments on link I posted.

I'm not looking to get ripped off. Shops quoting me $1300 are trying to take me for a ride, just like many mechanics in the FB group have expressed.

Which is exactly why I posted here, to see others' opinions. People online are great and all, but like I said I have a close friend who purchases from this website and is satisfied with the quality. Therefore I'm asking those who know more to comment - not judge my choices of getting a g37 and saying I should "trade in the whole car". State your opinion, and move on.

Seriously though, I can't buy quality brakes for my civic or my wife's mazda 2 for $189. If its too good to be true...

They may be just fine, or they may be crap... Every decision has a consequence.
By the way, changing brake pads with the Sport package is VERY easy! (2 cotter pins, 2 pins, and they are out) Next week I will be posting a DIY step by step video.

You already have many opinions so make your decision and get it done. If you are waiting for everyone to agree on a brand/price, it won't happen. We all have different opinions on brake parts.

Secondly, there are way too many reputable vendors on here to be purchasing God knows what from some website no one in this circle has even heard anything about. If you want quality parts for a good price, you let me know. No way in hell would I put any of those parts on any of my cars.
