Aftermarket dimpled/slotted rotors.
#17
Couple of items to remember when buying rotors. Those rotors may look cool but they will crack. ANY drilled rotor will crack eventually. Second, they most likely will not change your braking distance. They "may" improve your brake fade but as with any system, your pads and brake fluid require upgrading as well. Most of us who are never on a track will never encounter brake fade on the road. Meaning unless you have been on a track you have never experienced brake fade going into a corner.
Last item to note is weight of the rotor. Lighter rotors is less unsprung weight which is good. However this is bad in that the rotors cannot handle the heat load caused during heavy braking. Which is why you would want additional cooling to the rotor. However if the rotors are heavier than OEM, your handling will be impacted negatively.
You can't increase the size of the rotor diameter with the OEM caliper. Will not fit.
Powerslot rotors are dimpled and slotted which can give you that cool look without the risk of cracking. Don't know if they have a two piece rotor for lighter weight for the G.
Last item, if you buy rotors, buy new pads. Do not run old pads on new rotors. Save them as sets so that you can put them back on in the future. Keep the pads with the respective rotor and identify which was on the outside or inside of the caliper.
Of course all this is my opinion.

i wouldnt do cross-drilled rotors personally. if you plan on pushing your car hard, they weaken the rotor. for show or daily driving, they are fine. for right now, the best option looks to be upgraded pads and stock rotors until someone comes out with something.

Does anyone know here I can find larger than OEM rotors and will they work with the same calipers? The wheels I have now make the brake rotors look puny but the performance is fine, just want larger rotors.

Pretty sure you are out of luck unless you go with BBK. Solo has a new low price on his.

Brake Rotors for G37S
BrakeWorld.com has in my opinion a very nice set, they a Disc Italia 14" front 13.8" back. Made of high quality carbon steel. A little pricey at $900 front and rear. Also have Hyper Ceramic, and Titanium Kevlar pads at $200 front and rear. Will be ordering in mid March for spring.

ps- a bigger rotor does nothing if the pad size remains the same. all your adding is more weight.

Here is another option to consider.

if you wanted to stay stock size, the rotora slotted would be best for performance and cross-drilled for show.
