Does this mean my rotor's are warped?
 
When I am driving on the Highway mostly and sometimes on the street, when I have to brake, the steering wheel starts vabrating all over the place and the brakes feel jittery like they don't want to grab onto the wheel. One example is like going 80 and trying to brake to 70.

Insight is appreciated,

Kev

What are that most reliable rotors out there that I could replace the originals with?

Thanks,

I don't think that there is something like "most reliable rotors".
Just wondering, how many miles do you have on the original pads/rotors?
Regardless of rotor choice, get decent pads also.

rotors
 
I have 40,000 miles on the original rotors.
What rotors would be recommended to replace them with and what brake bads?

Thanks,

Kev:)

If the originals lasted 40k, use new OEM. If not, hit the carpart stores around and try to get some other name brand rotors like brembo/bendix/beckarnley/raybestos/.....whatever you can afford.

Pads:greenstuff/hps for normal street driving OEM upgrade, redstuff/ hp+ for really aggressive driving(most people here), or Nissan OEM pads if you had no problems with them.

Well, for what it's worth. Get them TSB-ed.

I had mine done, per the Technical Service Bulletin, at about 40K km and at 75K I still have not had the condition come back.

Though, when I am done with these, I am using the search and will find the best blanks and slot them.

TSB
 
Do I have to go to the same dealor that I bought the car from in order to get the rotors TSBed?

Thanks,

Kev:(
