So i need new brakes for my 2k3 se. I have worn the stocks out big time. My buddy is a manager at Midas and said he would install the performace rotors, pads, and stainless brake lines. So after looking around, I have found a few deals but am concerned about the quality of the rotors.

I have seen powerslots, xd's, irotors, and brembos. I have also seen deals like this on ebay:

Ebay Maxima 03 brakes

Is there any big advantage or disadvantage to getting any of these different brands? I am going to get slotted and not drilled as I am not increasing the size of the rotor and do not want to deal with the possibility of heat cracking the drilled rotors...

any help or suggestions are very appreciated.

I'll vouch for the PowerSlot rotors. I've had them installed for over a year now with no signs of warping, etc. I'm running OEM pads, since everything else squeaks until they are warm.

Well I ended up getting hawk hp brake pads and got my stock rotors turned. I had to get it done as the wear indicators were making some serious noise. I think when its time to replace my brake pads the next time, im in for a set of Powerslots.

thanks for the info.

I had Powerslots with Hawk pads and they squeaked from day one. I put up with that for about a year and changed to Brembo xdrilled/slots (w/Raybestos QuietStops) last month.

No more squeal and slightly better stopping power.
