Brake replacement alternatives

[buckeye1979]

Dear all

I need to replace both front and rear brakes on my 2007 G35x. The dealer is going to charge me a total of 600$. I wanted to check if any of you can recommend good alternatives. Is it worthwhile to purchase parts on your own and get the brakes replaced from Midas/Meineke? Is the work just as good with this alternative?

Thanks a lot!

I would buy after market and replace do the work yourself. Let me know what exactly you need and I will give you the best price around.

I too need recommendations on new brake pads. I have an 2010 G37S with r-spec pads. These are pricey and would like an alternative if possible.

[RED_DET]

Hawk or project mu would be my recommendations.

just replaced pads on my G37X
PQ ceramic pads part # 10508880
took care of loud squel
$68.99 for fronts had to buy myself as my dealer would do NOTHING! Told me it was normal

There are TSB's out for squeal issues that are beyond "normal".

SO WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE G35? I HAVE A 06 COUPE THAT NEEDS REAR BRAKE PADS. N IS IT OK TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS??

[audtatious]

Infiniti rotors should be ok to turn dependent on how bad they have been eaten up. A brake shop should measure first.

OK THANKS. I WORK AT A SHOP SO I'LL DO IT JUST WANTED TO SEE IF ITS RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE INSTEAD OF RESURFACING. IT'S JUST PULSATING.

[audtatious]

It should be good for resurfacing.
