Trying to do this myself as the dealership quoted $1400 in parts/labor. I've changed pads & rotors on a few vehicles myself and pretty sure I can handle this on my wife's car. This is an 7sp auto car without the sport package. It says G37 on the rear (no S).. but she does have the 19" OEM wheels. So I'm guessing there was some type of sport look package.. but I believe cars with the actual sport package had paddle shifters on the wheel. She does NOT have paddle shifters.. auto can be manually shifted by tapping the shifter -/+ up/down/ in DS mode only.

Was hoping to order pads/rotors off Amazon or Ebay but cant figure out which ones came on the vehicle.. and which replacement OEM style ones to use. I can post pics if this helps.

Also any tips for installation will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Is this everything? Pads & rotors f/r?
I believe her car has the 330mm rotors because it is RWD 2009 G37 Convertible (non-sport)

Thanks but no BBK. This is the wife's car. Purely daily driver/commuter. Want to stay as close to OEM as possible. Figure I'll go premium on the rotors and ceramic on the pads to guarantee no squeals.

 

Also are any shim kits required? or do they ship with the pads?

 

Having recently changed the rear brakes, the Akebono that other readers have suggested are very good - low dust.

In addition, it was INCREDIBLY easy to replace the rear brakes - the hardest part was taking off the wheel, followed by 2 bolts keeping the caliper on. Once the caliper top-half is off, you literally pull out the brake pads and insert new ones.

Brakes, when done with the proper time to learn/understand how it works, are a great way to begin your DIY career. You really cant screw them up, take pics along the way and do one side at a time in case you need to compare/contrast the sides if you get stuck.

Plus you'll probably save yourself at LEAST $1000 which you can apply towards a vacation with your wife. GL with it!

 

Good reply except for the part in bold, there are a few ways that a brake job can go wrong, but if you do your time reviewing the DIYs, ask questions if you're not sure of something, and have the proper tools (and a helper to bleed the brakes), then your chances of a mistake are minimal.

 

I think we are both agreeing with each other:

My phrase of: "when done with the proper time to learn/understand how it works,"

Equals your phrase of:

"but if you do your time reviewing the DIYs, ask questions if you're not sure of something, and have the proper tools"

 

I concur ^^^

 

Where is the DIY section for brake job on G37?

Do you have a quick link to it?

 

I had never done any work myself on my car until I did my pads and it was fairly easy. However, I did do it at a DIY shop that had a lift and all the tools I needed. Just make sure to get rid of the metal plates that might be on the outside of your current ones, as I almost kept them on but the ones I bought had the plates integrated.

Here are the fronts and the rears that I bought and I like them a lot so far. I would guess we use the same brakes but make sure Amazon says they're compatible with the vert. As for what is OEM, I have no idea, but I wouldn't be too worried about keeping the pads themselves exactly OEM.
