Tried this in the parent section of the this subforum and got 1 answer about a BBK. I'm not interested in BBK. Just want to replace the factory stuff.. with equal to/better than factory stuff. This is a daily driver/commuter car with no performance upgrades needed.

Trying to do this myself as the dealership quoted $1400 in parts/labor. I've changed pads & rotors on a few vehicles myself and pretty sure I can handle this on my wife's car. This is an 7sp auto car without the sport package. It says G37 on the rear (no S).. but she does have the 19" OEM wheels. So I'm guessing there was some type of sport look package.. but I believe cars with the actual sport package had paddle shifters on the wheel. She does NOT have paddle shifters.. auto can be manually shifted by tapping the shifter -/+ up/down/ in DS mode only.

Was hoping to order pads/rotors off Amazon or Ebay but cant figure out which ones came on the vehicle.. and which replacement OEM style ones to use. I can post pics if this helps.

Also any tips for installation will be greatly appreciated.



EDIT: I found this link.. http://infinitihelp.com/models/2009/...ifications.php

This has been extremely helpful to anyone with a question like mine. Her car does NOT have the sport MT, because its not a 6sp MT.. nor does it have G37 "S" label. Seems as though she has base convertible with the 330mm brakes (13" = 330mm). Also she does NOT have the "Sport Package".. because she does not have the paddle shifters. Appears that she does have the upgraded "Performance Wheel & Tire" package.. which includes 19" wheels & summer tires.. but does NOT have the upgrade brakes from the actual "Sport Package".

Pretty sure I've figured out what I need. Its the 330mm brakes and standard size pads below. Ive already ordered the parts below so I can knock this out this weekend, but I've gotten something wrong.. someone PLEASE let me know know and reply to this thread so I can order the correct parts now and return this before I pull the wheels/calipers/pads/rotors off her car this weekend!

Thanks!

This is what Amazon is suggesting. Is this correct?

Is this everything? Pads & rotors f/r?
I believe her car has the 330mm rotors because it is RWD 2009 G37 Convertible (non-sport)

Also are any shim kits required? or do they ship with the new pads?

Lots of folks go with centric premium blank rotors. As for pads pretty much your choice. Im not familiar with oem type pads but more aggressive track pads which im sure you dont need.
Id go with a stoptech street pad.

Thanks man. I went with Centric premium blanks as well. Should be them posted above. Thats exactly what I ordered.

I went with Akebono premium ceramic pads.. as thats what I have on my Vette and I love them. They far outperform the GM ceramic pads.. and they are perfectly quiet.

Thanks for replying!

Any special tips for the parking brake? I know they can be a bitch on some cars to reinstall correctly.
