Hi all,
I reached here after exhausting my research capabilities.
I have a 2012 G37X Coupe with the Sport package. This means it has the Akebono BBK on it.
I cannot, for the life of me, get a straight answer regarding the name of the pads used from the dealerships I have been calling around.
I finally got someone to give me the following part numbers using my VIN:
d1060jl00j (front)
d4060jl00j (rear)
No one can confirm if these are Akebono pads. All I get from them is "Infiniti pads".
The I decided to look for brakes myself; found that StopTech Street Perf is held in high regard on this forum, but I am confused about the right size. I found three sizes as follows:
1. StopTech 309.130460 (Front)
2. StopTech 309.130470 (Rear)
and to make things confusing
3. StopTech 309.09050 (Rear)
So, here are my specific questions.
a) Do dealers use Akebono pads, and are the part numbers listed above the right OEM pad for the Akebono BBK?
b) Should I buy my own StopTech pads and if I were to do that, which of the above listed is the proper rear brake-pad set?
c) Also, if someone knows a good Brake shop in Massachusetts which would gouge me for prices, please let me know?
Kindly help me out.
Regards
