The EatRiceZone deal is a good one. Most of the other packages around don't include new fluid.

Get the package from Eatricezone. I have that setup and couldn't be happier. You can't go wrong for the $$$. They stop great, are very smooth, and look good too.

I'm looking to upgrade too.. I have porterfield pads sitting in my trunk right now. I was considering getting the brembo rotors. I don't want to spend a whole buncha money right now.. and those rotors are only $150. The eatrice deal can be parted too, and their rotors are more expensive. Their overall kit has pads I dont need. Etc.. So I mean, it's basically all about which rotor you want, not the merits of the whole kit.

Why not buy everything except the rotors from Phoung at EatRiceZone? The package deal saves you about $16 which is about the difference of the front rotors. How much are the Rear Brembo rotors from SouthWest?

Either way you can't go wrong, both companies are great and very helpful.

i went with all 4 rotors from SWA for $290 opposed to $340 from eatrice. fair warning though (i ordered from SWA and Eatrice for my brakes)...SWA is in AZ so if you are on the east coast be prepared to pay high dollar shipping charges. while eatrice is in PA. i am in MD and i got my products from eatrice the next day and for a cheaper shipping charge. but i figured the $50 difference in rotors from the two companies payed for my shipping and i got slotted/drilled compared to just drilled.

Can you put these rotors from SWA on 97 Maxima without anything else?? Like different caliphers??? Different size Pads????

Thanks

Yes, they are standard size rotors. They are just cross drilled and slotted which is why they are more expensive.

I got a quote from Wood at www.raceconcepts.com a few weeks ago for a whole setup. $200 for all 4 rotors slotted and drilled, $85 for SS lines, and $75 for brake pads. $360 total.

No brake fluid, but I'd want to get some ATE blue anyway..

Anyone ever ordered from them??
