Everybody I call from the net sweras Hawk doesn't make a pad for the 94 Q. What places besides IRotors have you guys been buying from lately for brakes and rotors?

You might try looking on eBay ... there are a few regular sellers offering cross-drilled, slotted Bembo's and Bradi's and Powerstops for the Q.

After 4k miles, I am still very happy with the Bradi's from Irotors.com, although they are using a different brand now.

For brake pads, ONLY use OEM pads...you won't be happy with the squeakiness of other pads on a Q. You can buy them for under $60 from Joe for the pair. As for rotors, I'll defer to Z on that one. :)

Totally agreed! Given all the posts that I have searched and read through on the NICO site, I decided to stay with the OEM Infiniti pads on the Bradi rotors and am very pleased with the results.

The front pads are over $60 now from Joe. Using them with Stillen (Bradi?) front rotors, and they do work quite well during break-in.

I think PowerStop uses the same blanks (Bradi) - at least my old ones were... I'm very happy with the Stillen/OEM combination on "Q2" during their first 700 miles or so.

I'll second that with only about 350 miles. So smooth and so much reserve.

Joe, of course. Think they were $175 for the front.

Anyone who cares about their Infiniti and is not BillG rich must know Joe and the gang at http://www.infinitipartsusa.com .__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45
