well, are you looking for slotted or cross drilled, or slotted crossed drilled?

are are you looking for normal rotors but made by an aftermarket company?

there are brembo, stillen, and some no name places...


stillen are like $160 +s/h for the fronts..

www.eatricezone.com , phuong is a stillen dealer and can get you them at this price probably... if he is still selling at that price..

brembo are like $120 + s/h for the fronts

you can get them here off the maxiam.org.. there is the brembo guy and others who sell them.. i think there are some in the parts section...

Yes. IF you're just looking for a cheap replacement, Pep Boys has some for $45/rotor.

No! No cheap ****. I want them to be better then stock. But be compatible with stock brakes and not very expensive. What is the difference between slotted or cross drilled, or slotted crossed drilled. Where to buy?

I don't think you understand the concept of brake rotors. The only ones that will be "compatible" with the stock calipers will be stock sized rotors. They will work the same whether you get them from Nissan or Pep-Boys. They will both have the same size, weight, etc. Slotted means they have slots machined into them, to help gases escape the rotor face. Cross Drilled are drilled through to help cooling. Slotted and X-drilled have both slots and drill holes... Buying rotors from Nissan or buying some $30 Pep Boys rotors won't make one bit of difference in your braking.... only your wallet will see the difference.

are there any other benefits to purchasing slotted/crossdrilled or both? is there any reduction in braking distance assuming one would use an aftermarket brake pad like porterfields??

For street use, you're doing more harm then good. All those holes & slots reduce the swept area and rotor mass. They just look nicer
