So, I have run many pads (Project mu B force, EBC Blue, OE, Stoptech Street Performance, Endless something or other) I ran a few sets of the EBC NDX pads which worked great, until they didn't. The Stoptech Street Performance pads seem to be a good compromise of cold and hot performance. I always run stock sizes. I've also run many sets of rotors, Primarily EBC, DBA, Centric or OE. In every case, the aftermarket rotors have more swept area that the pads don't touch. Has anyone who had worked on these particular cars (06+ G35 and 06+ FX45 as well as some others) found pads that cover more of the rotor swept are without drawbacks? There is room in the caliper for a taller pad. I recall The Critic at one point saying they used some pad instead of some other.
I've attached some illustrations, hopefully they get my point across without ruining the internet. These may all look like the same pictures, but they are different rotors and different pads, in different combinations - front and read. These pictures are from the G35, but the FX uses the same pads and the rotors, while thicker, have the same swept area. The fronts are 888's the rear are 905's
