I've called on the group deals and everytime I get, "they don't make a direct replacement for your car". What rotors are available as direct replacement for 2k2's? What pads and rotors are available? I'm looking for blanks, not x-drilled or slotted. I would also prefer ceramic pads if possible.

 

powerslot makes em-I got all mine from Custom Maxima
hawk makes front pads only but axxis makes rears and fronts

I have all four powerslots with hawk fronts and axxis rears....i will replace my hawks with axxis i think when these wear out

 

well u can get brembo blanks too

 

2k2 rear rotors/pads and IDENTICAL to the 2k-2k1 maximas.

You can use any rear break setup on a 2k2 max from any 5th gen

 

Every place I've checked with has told me that the 2k2/2k3 Maximas have different size front rotors compared to the 2k/2k1's. Brembo does not make rotors for the 2k2/2k3 fronts. Which Axxis pads? When I called around I was told they had the rear pads but not the front, but I was adament about getting ceramic instead of metal. My main concern with the pads is screeching and squeling like I'm sure most everyone cares about.

 

Axxis Metal Masters...

Correct, front rotors are different. Rears are the same

 

Thanks for clearing that up. How well do the Metal Masters work for both braking and quiet ride?

 

Another question: I'm having really shaky stopping. In your opinion(s) do you think it's front rotors, rear rotors or both?

 

front rotors...its called brake judder....this means your rotors are probbaly warped

...not exactly...
dimensionally - on the outside, yes, but if you looked on the inside you would see that 02/03 rotors have less metal there - meaning they are lighter then 00/01. They still are interchangeable though.

 

more to it: 02/03 rear calipers have reinforcing brackets:

regular brakes look like this:

and this is where you are wrong. 2k and 2k1 rotors are smaller and heavier and fatter than 2k2. 2k2 rotors got lighter and thiner and bigger so if you try to put 15 inch rims on a 2k2 max on the front, they will fit but rotors and calipers will touch the wall of the rim. but on 2k and 2k1 this is not a problem. I know this cause i wanted to put 2k2 rims on my max and give my old ones to my bro who had the 2k2 on his 2k2 max. and my 15 inch rims did not fit so i had to get the rotors and calipers also.

 

he is talking about REARs!

 

I didn't know the rear ones are vented

 

hawk great stoping but noise... axxis are better?
