I dont have any performance mods other than a CAI, FSTB and soon to be RSB. Is it worth the extra $40?

 

i had cross and drilled rotors and they cracked. choose one or the other, not both. the stock size rotors aren't big enough to have that much material taken away and not crack from the heat.

 

Thats kind of what I thought. They look better than stock too.

 

Drilled rotors are a big
Drilling any type of rotor weakens the surface, causing cracking under extreme temperatures. Go with slotted only. You will be fine.

 

True. On my 4th gen. My drilled/slotted rotors were starting to crack.

 

D/S began cracking on my alti before i got rid of her.
D/S on the wife's max right now but will be moving to brembo blanks for next replacement

 

What do you use the car for? Do you track it? If not, just get blanks and save yourself some money and any potential hassle. Just my opinion.

Anyway, you can find previous discussion and opinions here:

ive had cross drilled and slotted for bout atlest 4 years now. NO problems at all. they stop better and look beefier than stock rotors. maybe its just the company people get them from that defines the quality.

 

Or maybe you don't know what your talking about

 

unless u do the $60 drilled/slotted rotors ebay has, get slotted rotors adn call it a day.

 

For anything except racing/track applications, stick with blanks, they'll have the best grip and offer the most surface area of rotor that you can utilize...

 

Latest casualty, even though to be honest, rotor failure hasn't been a widely reported issue on these forums:

yea you dont hear about it alot...but when you do its a drilled rotor..which is why i purchased rear drilled and slotted...not that much brake is 'requested' from the rear, so i figure less chance, even though that guy's rear rotors are toast

 

Damn and I just purchased some Drilled Slotted RTP rotors from the GD. I didnt hear much said about those causing any problems so I thought it would be safe.

 

lol youll be ok. the guy in that thread said he didnt know til he removed his wheels for w/e reason.

 

I'm just received the 6th gen calipers I bought and I'm about to buy brembo blanks for an 06 maxima w/ hps pads. I think this is probably the best combo for our cars, blank rotor+hawk hps=WIN
