Anyone have any experience with these brakes / this vendor?

Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors

I'm growing ill with my brakes squealing. I may be replacing the rotors (and pads) on all four corners with cross-drilled rotors. I will not be using Akebono products since they are the OEM vendor and it is apparent that the brake noise is a vendor induced problem.

I've searched Brembo, Stoptech and Rotora and it appears that only Rotora has "drop-in" replacement, cross-drilled rotors for the G37 Sport. Is this the case? Stoptech seems to only have slotted rotors. Brembo appears only to have a full BBK 6-pot kit. I could very well go with Rotora, but the rotors in the link above are much cheaper.

I'm a "you get what you pay for" kind of person, so I'm a bit apprehensive so if anyone has any experience with these brakes and/or vendor please chime in.

Also, are there other alternatives?

Thanks.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to try new pads (Hawk HPS) first?

Yes, however since this problem first occurred the dealership has turned my rotors more than once and now, although I don't feel any vibration while braking I can hear an inconsistancy in the rotor surface; almost like a "skipping" sound. I hear it a lower speeds when there is a wall beside me or something for the sound to bounce off of. It is very prevelent when I have my windows down, not so much with them up. Essentially the dealership is ruining my rotors trying to appease me temporily.

STILLEN has cross-drilled, slotted, cross-drilled and slotted, plus the new J-Hooks. They have been doing brakes for over 20 years. Have a look!

Thanks. Didn't know Stillen made brakes. I'm leaning toward these.

You'll like those. These have a balanced pattern that has a full pad sweep, unlike many others you may see on the market today. Uniform pad wear is only possible this way.
