Brake pad and rotor recommendations
Hello Guys! I bought a 2013 G37x sedan about a year ago. It has standard brakes that need replaced. I am going to replace both front and rear. I was happy with the performance of the OEM but wouldn't mind an upgrade. My wife drives the car to work daily so no real need for a dramatic upgrade. I wanted to draw from your experience regarding the best daily driver brakes and where to get them for a good price. Thank you.

You can check those part #s on Amazon.com, might be even less when you factor in free shipping.

I have a question about the description of the brake pads on RockAuto. If is says "Brembo" does that mean it fits the Akebono calipers as well? The Raybestos and some other pads say "Brembo" brakes and wanted to make sure they would work.
Probably best to check the part #s w/ the company in that case. One would assume Brembos meant the BBK equipped Gs but I'd still double check that those are for Akebono equipped Gs w/ 355mm front/350mm rear rotors.

Blnewt, Quick question about the Centeic pads part#. When I went to Rockauto the description didn’t list them as being compatible with the X model. Any issue here? I’m looking for the same pad option as OP but want to make sure they’ll work for my G37X. Thanks!
G37x sedan they will work, G7x coupe they won't.
