Aftermarket brakes

Hi all

Does anyone have any suggestion's for some aftermarket brakes for a 2010 g37x that does not have the Brembos on it ?

Also I want to do SS lines as well at the same time so any suggestions on those would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would highly suggest you go OEM with the Akebono route. Much cheaper than aftermarket kits which can be 2x the price.

Check out our forum vendors for complete kit.

Are you looking for new pads & rotors or a whole new Big Brake Kit?

I was thinking just pads and rotors, I still want everything like the ABS to still function the same but would like slotted and drilled rotors.

I have the stoptech kit, mine are just the slotted but they also make a drilled and slotted version, I have nothing but good things to say about the pads, just make sure to bed them in. 60-10mph 10 times, NO STOPPING IN BETWEEN, get them ****ers hot and even lol

After doing some reading, I think that I am not going for cross drilled just slotted.

What type of brake pads do you recommend ? (materiel wise) ?

And have any of you done the SS brake line ?

Is it worth if ?

Thanks

I tried drilled rotors once years ago and found them to be excessively loud. Definitely not what I wanted on a street car. I swapped back to solid versions. I'm curious if drilled or slotted are loud these days.

I run drilled and slotted and it only makes noise under EXTREMELY hard breaking, like to the floor. And even then i can only really hear it with the windows down.

Otherwise i've noticed no loudness.
