Just wanted to let you know that I installed my EBC Sport Rotors and Greenstuff pads (front and rear) yesterday on my 2004 Infiniti FX35.

The installation was a breeze, the EBC components fit PERFECTLY! My only issue was trying to get the original rotors (rear) off of the vehicle as they were both 'frozen' to the hubs. I had to pound on each with a dead blow hammer and they finally gave way and came off. That was the only hitch for this install...

Just an FYI in case anyone ever has this question (like I did), the original Nissan pads did have a single wear clip exactly as the EBCs and they were installed at the factory on the RH side (passenger side) on the INSIDE part of the caliper facing inward (this makes sense as they would bind against the outside part of the caliper if installed on the outside. I would suggest letting folks know about this. This is not documented in the Infiniti service manual either but I believe they need to be installed in this fashion...

So far I'm extremely pleased with the initial performance of the rotors/pads; still taking it easy on them as they are new but they feel very good and are noise-free for the moment! Hopefully they stay this way. I do hear the whoosing of air coming from the rotors on slow stops (as mentioned in a note supplied with each rotor) but it's a faint 'air rushing noise' and doesn't bother me at all, kind of sounds 'cool'!!

Thanks again for answering all of my questions, I am SOLD on EBC brakes going forward. I plan to try the Redstuff on my Corvette when the time comes to do brakes on that vehicle...

I've been running these rotors for almost 100,000 miles. FAR superior to all thru-drilled rotors I've owned. These have not warped, cracked, or developed uneven wear throughout the useful life of the rotor. As the EBC literature states, they do produce a "thrumming" noise, but it's no more offensive than any other aspect of high performance auto modification.

I've run these rotors very hard; to the point of pad fade with both Redstuff and Greenstuff pads. Also run these rotors in all weather from -20F to 110F, raining, snowing, ice, etc.

They perform flawlessly regardless of what I throw at them. Bravo. They do rust, regardless of any plating they arrive with. Keep a coat of HT enamel on them to keep them looking good and take care to keep your hubs in equally clean condition to help prevent runout.
