I am about to get new rotors and brakepads for my max. I have a couple questions.
Where can I get a set of rotors and brakes for about 150$?
How long it takes to install them?
Is it hard to do?

What are the best rotors to go with?

like kloogy said, it really is not that hard. just remove the two bolts that hod on the caliper and the caliper comes off. you might a rubber mallet (or the right sized screws) to get the rotor off. as for the brakes, they are also fairly easy. you could go buy a nissan manual from an autoparts store.

Just did them today. its fairly straightforward, but the 2 screws that hold the torque member on are freaking hard to get off. It took like 4 hours, but that includes reassembling my half taken off brakes/wheel so i could buy big *** wrench to get those 2 stubborn bolts off. A also washed the wheels why i was at it; that sh*t was covered in brake dust and was very dirty.

suggestion if you want inexpensive pads:
I just put on Bendix semi-metallic titanium pads (about $50 front/rear total) and they are a huge step up over the OEM pads. Not to mention they are about 1/2 the price of alot of the pads out there.....and you can get them at local Advance Auto, a national chain.
