I have an 08 G37S 6MT and am looking to upgrade the rotors and pads retaining the factory BBK calipers. What is my best option for this? Stoptech? DBA? Etc?

Thanx in advance

 

I have an 08 G37S and upgraded to Rotora rotors that are slotted, not drilled, and Project Mu B-Force. I'm happy with them although I don't have much to compare with such as stoptech, but it's one option that I'm happy with!

 

drilled would be your best bet since you live in a hot area

 

I heard drilled is susceptible to fractures and cracking. Dimpled is better apparently.

 

What do you consider light track use? If you have no track experience, keep what you have until you are fast enough to require something better.

Only get what you need.

 

That is no fun! Gotta feed that mod bug!

 

okay okay.

I use Carbotech XP12's. Yes, I daily drive on them, and yes, there are pics of my car with glowing brake rotors.

 

Light track use = how I drive normally. Actual track = GTR

 

The DBA 5000 series seem very nice. Can anyone comment on them?

 

I say stick to the cheapest available rotor, and blanks.

Do you fade your GT-R brakes on the track? The OEM brakes just aren't really enough for that car....

 

U lucky somma beesh.

 

Any reason why stick to the cheapest vs. higher quality aftermarket?

 

I use AP Racing and carbone lorraine pads.

 

Other than weight, there is no tangible gain in using "better" rotors. 1 piece rotors have more mass to absorb heat than 2 piece rotors, while 2 piece rotors are lighter.

Are we talking full floating rotors? (Is that even available for the G37?)

I've no personal experience with CL pads, but I just saw something that says 1000C+? Too bad sintered metal pads destroy rotors Sounds similar to the XP12, but with more bite due to formulation. XP12 is rated 1100C+.

My on-track time with a GT-R is extremely limited, as they were all student cars. Too baller for me

Have you faded the CL pads? Which pad are you using? If you can properly bed a Carbotech XP8 or XP10, they will make zero noise. I'm so used to pads that bite that I have trouble driving on street pads now; I always have to re-adjust when I'm driving someone else's car.

 

bro the project MU bspec pads and rotors have been my ULTIMATE FAV
