Which Brake Package Would You Go With

I usually like to buy Oem Brakes, but since are 5gens warp rotors so quickly im thinking about switching to a non OEM replacement rotors. I found this link on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

Im not sure if i should go with those Rotors and the Axxis Ceremic Pads,
or
If i should just get OEM rotors and OEM pads,
or
Get the aftermarket Rotors with OEM pads.

Also im not sure about the quality of those Rotors on ebay so any help would be appreciated.

Buy brembro's it'll be a little more but they are good rotors. OEM pads are fine, or I'd recommend Raybestos Quiet Stop ceramics.

There is an Ebay seller out in Canada "Nightsauto" I've purchased a full rotor package from them, and they were great. I've put 60,000 miles on them and they are still doing good. (mine: Brembro: Cross drilled)

Heres there E-mail: sales@nightsauto.com

E-mail them to see if they have the ones you want.

neither. Do this: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=389452 or this: http://www.mattblehm.com/relocation_kit.html

both of these are far superior options.

for Matt. I bought the package for my Max but unfortunately it did not fit (00/01 only). The build quality on the brackets is amazing and a blind monkey could figure out how to install the kit.

BTW, I have a problem with material transfer to the stock rotors. Bought slotted frozenrotors today from tirerack.com.

Okay well now i just have to decide whether i should go with the Brembo package from Automax, or if i should go with a 6gen rotors and Cap. Not sure if it would be better to go with OEM pads or the Pads from the Brembo package (Axxis ceremic pads i believe). Thanks for the comments so far.
BTW Irish good job on the 6gen rotors. Would i have any fitment issues with me wheels i got 03 GLE with Michelin 235/50/17.

I'm pretty sure it's been established that the 6th gen calipers and rotors WILL fit under the 02-03 wheels, but the SE wheels. Not sure abou the GLE wheels......the blehmCo kit will fit under any stock 17" Maxima wheels...
