Which Rotors & Brake Pads to get
I was told by my mechanic that my rotors on all four wheels had stress cracks and that it was recommended that I should replace them all as well as the Brake pads. Now I have been running Stock rotors and pads and currently at 91k. My question is should I upgrade to a sloted or cross drilled rotor or go with stock? The car is a daily driver and I don't plan on racing. I do plan on upgrading the exhaust system from the Y pipe to the muffler. Currently I have a CAI.
Now since I will have to replace these, I thought that I should upgrade my Springs and Struts. Any recommendations here? I want to lower the car but try to keep the ride the same as stock if possible.
Thanks guys.

I just bought some Brembo blanks and PBR Metal Master pads for the front brakes at NIssanPartStore.com .....I Heard this setup is pretty good and it only cost me $158 shipped (free UPS ground for orders over $50)

I wouldnt get cross drilled rotors. The holes weaken the rotor.
I have warped front rotors and im getting brembo's replacement rotor from www.tirerack.com. Ive ordered from them before and i think they are decent. I am also planning on purchasing the steel brake lines and replacing them with the rotors and pads. They also sell the steel brake lines at www.tirerack.com

"The holes weaken the rotor."
What about the brakes on sportsbikes, it literally looks like swisscheese. I have yet to read one post that says "my rotors suck cause of cross drilling.
Someone help me out, I need new rotors and pads soon. No rust would be great. stopping power, quiet, and little brake dust area all huge on my list.

Thanks guys for your recommendations. I am in need of the brakes first so new rims are far out right now. From what you all recommended is for the front, any recommendations for the rear? Stock rotors?
Also, anyone know of good spring and struts that would lower the car but the ride would be almost the same as stock?
I might as well do them all in one shot.
Thanks again guys!!

Get the Stillen Brakes. I'm running them for a year now with no problems at all. Very smooth, much less dusting, there plated so the hub area stays very clean, no rust and nice stopping power.
That was one of the best modifications I've done to my car.
