ok i can't take this anymore....Nissan rotor suck so bad
 
if you read my previous posts, my rotor has already been resurfaced once and now @ 26k miles I'm having problems with my rotor again.

now my question is what are some of the options I have?
I'm thiniking about going aftermarket. As far as I know Stillen has one for us (i have 2k2).

Can you guys tell me if there is any other companies out there that makes one for us. And where is the best/cheapest place I can find them. Thank you guys again.

Change your pads and the way you drive, you are on your brakes too long. Better or even bigger rotors do not mean they are better.

Here are my cracked 13.1" rotors I just replaced....granted I go to the track (Road Course). I have also been to the track with the stock ones an d they never warped.

Come again?

I think this is a gross generalization and can hardly explain the number of brake 'failures'. Not everyone drives the same way nor 'rides' the brakes, so lumping rotor problems under this is an oversimplification. Why would Nissan acknowledge the problem and issue a TSB if they could blame the driving habits that easily?

Thats a cool pic you have in your sig....Shouldnt you be apexing that turn a little more:D What tires do you use at the track?

WWW.Eatricezone.com sells a combo for $575... But stock will last you longer, considering I went thru rotors and pads every 10kmiles..

Isn't the TSB for 00-01s? The 02s have larger rotors.

Thanks, thats a hairpin turn and I was already past the apex of it and acelerating out of it. The pic is cropped so you can't see the whole thing.

There are still way too many brake problems to be explained by the causes you mention.
