Lets talk Brake Rotors, Pads and lines!
2009 G37S Coupe 6MT
Wasn't expecting to do brakes this soon, but my front rotors are definitely needing replacement.
I would LOVE the Z1 2-piece rotors, but I don't have that kind of scratch at the moment.
Looking for recommendations on good rotors, and pads. I I ran Hawk HPS on my 03 Infiniti G35 AT Sedan with cross drilled and slotted rotors. Unfortunately I traded the car in 2 weeks later when O/D started acting up.
I plan to use this car to hit some road race courses a couple of times a year, but it is my daily driver.
Recommendations appreciated.

I've been running DBA 4000 Series drilled/slotted rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads for over 4 years with zero issues. Granted my car is not a daily driver and will never see a track, but the confidence I have after enduring several panic stops (damn tourists) has me sold on this setup.
All in pads and rotors were ≈$850. I do my own labor.
Just my 10¢.

There are tons of helpful thread in the Brakes forum: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...and-tires-305/
Seriously, more than you can count. Spend an hour trolling around for info and you'll get your answers.
As to the Z1 2-piece... I have them, and they are gorgeous. But the cost-2-value ratio is kind of whacked. I recommend Akebono blanks. Unfortunately, you missed out on Z1's Black Friday sales.
All those tourists racing to get to the Cape Fear Museum. Sure-r-r-r

Between them, the idiots trying to find the beach, the klutzy college clucks, and the other morons on the road playing with their iDevices (handheld and/or in-car) you'd be surprised. As cars get "smarter" the drivers get "dumber" IMO.
And, yes, I know every place has their own share of traffic nightmares. I would trade the traffic on Long Island for this hell any day. There is a reason why this area has the highest insurance rates in the entire freaking state!
