Replacing rotors

Would like some help choosing some new rotors for my 2011 g37x sedan. Been shaking for awhile now when I use my brakes. Was going to go with akeboni pads. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated. Also websites to order the parts

I bought the DBA 4000 slotted rotors. Never had another problem with "pad deposits". I think slotted is the way to fix the problem honestly.

Thanks for the quick response. I don’t do any track driving just use it as a daily. Would these still be good or a little excessive for a daily?

Don't replace them yet. Get out there and USE your brakes HARD. Modern vented disks rarely warp. Instead, easy driving, especially stop-and-go driving, will cause uneven brake pad material deposition on the disk faces. This is what causes the pulsing. Do an Italian tune-up on your brakes and you'll scrub those deposit flat. Six hard stops from about sixty mph (in a safe place) should do it. Don't actually stop, accelerate back to speed from ten or fifteen mph.

I had the same problem couple months ago when I was driving at 110 km on high way, the car would shake/vibrates all the time. when I brought to the mechanic he said to change the font rotors so we did and the shaking/vibrations were gone

Had the same issue coming back from Vegas, I couldn't wait to get home to replace them.
Changed rotors & pads...shaking was gone.

Of course changing rotors will get rid of vibration. But the Italian brake tune-up might have saved several hundred dollars.
