I was just shopping for brake pads and was wondering if someone can confirm that the R spec pads will fit in the 2011 G37S sedan Akebono 4 piston calipers?

R-Spec® High Friction Brake Pads (Front ) Infiniti Part No.: D1060-JL051

Does anyone know the rear caliper R-Spec brake pad part number and will they fit?

It looks like the stock Akebono sport caliper front pad numbers are D1060-JL00J and rear pads are D4060-JL00J. Correct?

Is there any place to get a new front pad shim set and new pins/clips that aren't an arm and a leg? Looking at OEM parts I see $48 x 2 for D1080-JL00A shims and $20 x 4 for the 41217JL00A pins? Seems way high to me....

Also are there pad wear sensors on these calipers? This will be my first brake job on this car and my BMW's always had wear sensors (sometimes came with the pads along with new shims too.) I did not see any on the DIY's I looked at.

Thanks!

 

No sensors.
id get the shims at autozone or oreilly. Can remember price but was much cheaper than oem
As for pads if those pads are for akebono theyll fit. 370z g37 akebono as well as q50 and q60 share the same akebonos

 

I saw the r-spec pads listed for the Q60 but no cross to G37 other than some posts online. I have seen several references to brembo (and r-spec) for the G37 sport model and was not sure if there was also an G37 edition that actually had brembos for the bbk? (Or are they using brembo like "Kleenex" is used for tissues?)

this.

only the early model g35 and 07/08 350z track and nismo got the actual brembo.
nissan/infiniti switch to akebono manufactures but people refer to them as brembo still.
