Brakes Hey guys, I just got a new set of OEM C6 wheels. I am running a 285-19 in the back and 245-18 in the front. my brakes are stock. I really need an upgrade in the brake department. which is the best way to go if i want to keep my stock calipers? thanks!
With any of my Brake Packages, you get 4 rotors. And in those kits that have brake pads, you also get the two sets of Hawk HPS's or Ceramic's your choice.
Brembo rotors are damn near impossible to get these days. In fact they are special order most everywhere, and in fact most places are dropping Brembo because they are so hard to get.
Because of the costs involved and relatively small price differences between ATE and Brembo I always go to ATE because you also get a coated rotor--and one that is more readily in stock as well (but they do have shortages from time to time).

That's like asking what's better, Coke or Pepsi? Burger King or McDonald's. 
Depends on the use. I think HPS's are great all around pads. There are more powerful pads like HP+, and the new DTC-30's.... but they also cost a lot more, make more dust too.
I run HPS's on my street and autox cars. I likely will start running DTC-30's on them next year because they give more power, but in a nice linear fashion vs. the more on/off switch grab the HP+'s have. I like more power but only if I can modulate it well. And I'm fine with the dust.
For the majority of folks, HPS's are my recommendation.

Wife got a g35 and from her brakes mine feel soft but they still work damn good lol. Her's are real touchy and I want mine that way so I don't have to keep readjusting when I drive her car.
Ahh, I get it now.
Well, some fresh fluid and those Stainless lines will certainly help, so get on the stick!!!
Here is something that most folks don't know, and it's one of my biggest gripes with these cars....
Open the hood, have someone press on the brake pedal--and you watch the master/booster assembly move back and forth with the firewall and that will never help with pedal feel because it's moving. That said, if you want more braking power and or more power with less pedal effort I can help you with that.
