Rotor advice please...?

Hey everyone,

My rotors are warped pretty badly on my 03. Am going to switch to Xdrilled/slotted. Does anyone have any suggestions on which ones to get? I've never done brake work before. thanks!

I bought cross drilled rotors from Stillen. They work very well.

they wont warp as quickly as the stock nissan ones so that shouldnt be a problem


NIS2K3MAX,
if you really want to get slotted ones i would go get your stock ones replaced under warranty. then go straight home and take them off and put the slotted ones on. you can either keep the new stock ones for when you sell the car or sell them to someone on here to help pay for your slotted ones

wrong, Jason.....
as I told you on the phone today, that is not the case (as I found out on Friday)..

NIS2k3max...another option is to try the BlehmCo kit...2004 maxima 12" rotors (larger than ours)
You just get matt's relocation bracket and do it up!....http://www.mattblehm.com/relocation_kit.html

I purchased slotted/x-drilled black zinc coated rotors from www.iRotors.com for $300 shipped. I've put about 500 miles on them since installed and the change from OEM is significant.

3-36....Lying ****** they are...! My rotors warped 3 times in 12K miles. They cut them 2 X and replaced them last week. The car will be 3 years old on Oct 15,

Make them replace.....call Nissan if you are under 36K

do your brakes squell since you put the stillen brakes on. Mine do, just want a second opinion.
