Question Brakes!!

Sorry but i just recently got a new 350z not too long ago and My brakes are already gone. I was wondering if there is any suggestions for somewhere with good brakes around here. I got my z from carmax and i honestly think they put crap brakes in there since it hasnt even been 6 months. Sorry for the stupid post but i rather not have to deal with bad service or getting ripped off. Advice is much appreciated!! thank you

break yo self foo...

haha... just kidding. just get some breaks from one of the performance shops... should be a very wide selection of pads for the oem brakes.

seriously the work to swap it out is not that hard... so are your rotor still in good condition? no grooves on there or anything that would require you to resurface them? i swapped out a buttload of brake pads in my days... seriously... not hard at all. there might be a diy on this in the diy section.

well, for them to sell the car i don't think they would put anything that great on there. but good luck on your brakes... it's seriously easy. you should just do it yourself. save some money and it feels good to work on your own car.
