Just got a 2012 G37X Sedan! Looking for recommendations on brakes
Proud new owner of a 2012 G37X Sedan with 155,000 KMs of mileage on it!!! Hoping I can drive this baby to 250,000 KM or more!!!
Can anyone recommend or advise if brakes from RockAuto USA are any good for this car??
POWER STOP KOE114
CENTRIC 90642001 Preferred Pack - Front and Rear
And which Oil Filter brand is best??
BOSCH 3300
FRAM PH6607
WIX 51358
FRAM TG6607 Tough Guard
WIX 51358XP XP Extreme Duty; Best for Synthetic Motor Oils
PREMIUM GUARD PG4612EX
Thanks!!!!!

Rock auto is great for brakes.
the Centrics rotors are great too, I'd skip the power stops or any rotor without a coated hub unless you don't mind them looking rusted or want to coat them yourself you'll just be annoyed by how crappy they look
The Centric pads are good too if you aren't an aggressive braker and just use them for daily driving, they are quiet and don't dust a ton

Rockauto is a good part source for brakes (and most other parts). The Centric Premium rotors and Stoptech Street Pads would be my choice from what they offer, or if you want slotted rotors the Stoptech versions. Just be sure you get the proper diameter rotors (320mm front 307mm rear) as it can get confusing w/ the AWD models.
I'd run either of the WIX filters and get the XP if you run synthetic oil, Bosch are also decent.

Yeah I am just looking at Daily Driving for now, 20-30 KMs a day, maybe 12,000 KMs per year.
For a daily driver I'd run CENTRIC 90642001, I'm not sure of the Powerstop source for their parts or their overall quality, they may work well for you but not sure. The Centric premiums are a known product here for many members and have a solid history. And like I said above, if you want slotted rotors the Stoptech would be my choice there.

Oops thanks, didn't see this response. I will for sure get these then. Are the rotors rust proof as well do you know??
The only rust-proof rotors are made from carbon fiber. You want coated rotors. Centric offers both uncoated and coated, you'll have to visit the Rock Auto site to pick the correct rotors.

I'm reading that Centric is crap now and their parts are no longer made in USA, but made in China lol....... do you guys still recommend this then?? And how come no one here talks about Power Stop brand?? It seems to be loved by Rock Auto as well and they offer products in the Premium / Performance sections too..
