Does anyone know where I can find aftermarket performance brakes for my 2007 G35 Sedan??

Seems that no one makes anything... not even at the auto parts stores.

65% pad left on the front but rotors are "hot spotted", 15% left on the rear.

26,000 miles

15% left on the rear - What the heck? Is that the work of the VDC trying to keep your tires from slipping? I've never heard of the rear outwearing the front by such a margin.

Can you swap on some Brembos from a 350Z?

Mine are the same way. Original pads all the way around. Probably 40% on the front and 10% on the rear. I think I'm going to stick with another set of Infiniti pads until I figure out which brake setup to go with.

Napa sells pads and rotors... no place else carries anything....

I'd like drilled and slotted rotors....

I'm not sure why the rears wore out first??

To give you an idea of how hard track day was on my brakes in December I had the oil changed and I had 90% pad on the front and 80% on the rear.

I did about 25 laps, 50 miles, half a tank of gas at the track.

The factory brakes are not going to work. I need something that wears slower and lowering the heat is it best way to slow wear.

Be prepared for a BBK then. Most oem brake systems can't handle that abuse. The oem brembo system would be pushed to the limit.

I can see the guys at Infiniti of Scottsdale back in December...

HEY who ordered this truck load of brake pads and rotors?

Lets just host "track days" every couple months until they are gone LOL

I think drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads would last longer.... if I can get a year out of a set of brakes with 4 trips to the track I'll be happy.....

I really liked the Powerslot/Hawk setup I had on my I30, but it looks like Powerslot doesn't make rotors for the G... Let me rephrase that. They don't make rotors for the newer Gs. They have them for the 03-04s.

My pads on the I30 would last me around 6-8 months (fronts) and maybe a year for the rears. I accepted that it had something to do with my driving style. I think I got around 10k out of each front pair. Rotors would last through 3-4 pairs of pads.
