The mechanic told me these wernt the right pads for my 2010 G37X Coupe...
the size seems right summit racing said there right, but the mechanic said there missing the a clip....

it sounds to me that the old clips pop off the old pads and onto the new ones?

any thoughts?

 

The pad you have pictured is the correct pad for an AWD G. There's a possibility that your front calipers are for the RWD version of the G, not the AWD. I had this happen to mine: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...s-on-an-x.html.

 

Thanks for the info mine is also a 10 so i wonder if its something weird infiniti did from the factory, looks like ill wait till summer and rip them apart myself and have a look for myself (im a gear head i just hate the "maintenance" side of it so i pay someone lol)

 

Good stuff man, hope that sorts you out. Let me know what you find. It'd be nice to know I'm not the only one with RWD front calipers on my AWD.

 

Looks like the opposite happened to my car. I have a 2010 RWD G37 Journey and it seems like Infiniti equipped my car with AWD front calipers instead of RWD ones. Is there a difference performance wise between the AWD and RWD calipers?

Recently replied to on these topics.

The RWD sedan base/journey has the smaller brake system.
The RWD coupe base/journey has the larger brake system.

Therefore the RWD sedan base/journey has the same brake system as the AWD version.

Also the RWD coupe base/journey has the same brake system as the convertibles.

the pads pictured are for a sport and i needed the smaller ones it what it ended up being the problem....managed to sell off a set of pads so not to much money lost ><

 

Sorry to bring back this thread from the dead but I'm about to order brakes and want to be sure. Are the rotors of the rwd and awd coupes the same size? I haven't been able to find concrete info online.

 

G37 Coupe AWD brakes are the same as Coupe RWD brakes after 2010.

its honestly arbitrary from what I have found.
there seem to be various pads and rotors out there they say they fit and never do. I have hawks I cant use and don't fit the sport brakes....so best I can do is take a picture of my brakes and you can see if they match yours lol

 

If you tell me what kind of car you have,year, sedan/coupe, rwd/awd. I can get you the correct parts.

those are my calipers up front.
They have the hooks on either side, running ebc greens right now because that's all summit had in stock

 

Those are coupe brakes. The larger rotor compared to the sedans.

Not sure if this helps, but I put Akebono ceramic pads on my 2009 X coupe.

parts numbers:
ACT888 - Front
ACT905 - Rear

 

is there anything odd about the rear pads?
