I don't know Icey, looking at the quality of stock Nissan rotors in general, I'd trust them to warp, no matter how much larger they are. I thought I'd never say this, but I would take a FORD cobra rotor and make it fit over the stock 2k4 rotor. But that's just me. Peace_

I agree, but the extra heat disappation(sp?) would EXTEND that warping time.

My 2K1s have lasted 26K/3yrs and are starting to warp. I'd say the 2K4 has to weigh more then us, so that right there should help.

Yeah, I hear ya. But it's like throwing a band-aid on a gunshot wound. I think our biggest problem is cooling. Aditionally, I don't think biger rotors would solv the problem. Just ditch the fogs(like that's ever going to happen- or maybe someone with a GXE) and throw in some of those brake cooling ducts from the new Chevy SS, that would be hotness!!!
