I did power stop drilled slotted with carbon ceramic pads but I got the labor for a good deal , or if your handy they Work great and look nice .
Powerstop z23, get them from Rockauto.
Power stops. I’ve had mine in there for well over 75k. Same pads and rotors the whole time.
The OEM Sports brakes are just Brembo’s stickered as Infiniti.
I think Akebono is the way to go
Recently did a brake change on my 14 Q50S AWD, pads and rotors (Akebono) for front and rear for regular maintenance. After the change I did the same break in technique I’ve done with all of my vehicles and all was well.
I have Powerstop with carbon ceramic pads. I absolutely love them and they’re much better than my stock brakes. Whatever brakes you do get make sure you break them in.
Ran these for four years on the redsport better then the stock Akebono. Only changed the pads once
I havent had an issue with them in 2 years.
I recently changed the rear brake pads and disks on my hybrid Q50s. After the change, the brakes squeak terribly (specially at low speed/maneuvering). I have changed the brake pads 3 times (Ferodo, TRW and now I have the original infiniti brake pads) and I don't know what to do next. The brand of my brake disk is Delphi.
