I feel that the brakes on the 2000 Maxima SE leave a bit to be desired when it comes to high performance work.

I have just upgraded by brake rotors with the new DBA Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors and man, does it make a difference. Not to mention how cool they look! I've attached a shot of what these rotors look like to this message. The rotors are made in Australia and have a unique patented cooling ventilation system within the rotors. From what I understand they are now imported in the US.

Why go for the brake upgrade? First off the cross drilled and slotted brakes operate at a much lower temperature which allows you to use a higher coefficient of friction, less aggressive brake pad. This gives a lower, easier to modulate more consistent brake pedal effort. With the upgrade rotors, you get a feeling of immensely powerful stopping ability, which bolsters you confidence. Since the DBA brakes operate at a much lower temperature, the seals and other heat sensitive components last much longer. You can also run drilled rotors with little concern with cracking.

If you have an open style of wheel, the DBA rotors really make your car look special.

Check out their site at http://www.dba.com.au and if you want to know where you can get these rotors, let me know.
