In the back of the latest Sport Compact Car magazine, there is an ad for Landspeed Racing. On the right part of the page, under PowerSlot rotors, there is a listing for Maxima 1990-2000 F/R.

I do not recall seeing 2000 listed in there in the past...

I have not contacted them yet. Their website, http://www.powerslot.com, wasn't much help.

I called Land Speed Racing. They said they were "still waiting to receive them". I clarified they were waiting for Power Slot. I also clarified the 2000 rotors were different from previous years.

If you want the 2000+ rotors, I carry the Stillen lineup.

Got Rice,
Last time I spoke with Stillen they said what they had didn't carry over to 2K, and even then they were referring (presumably) to the big brake kit pieces.

Do you have more accurate info for direct replacements? If so, how much per wheel? Are they drilled, slotted, or both?

I just talked to them and they told me that they were available? Maybe my rep is full of BS? LOL

They are xdrilled and priced at $155/front pair and $152/rear pair, plus shipping.

I have heard some terrible stories about Stillen Rotors, like it will crack after sometime, someone i think on 4th gen forum actually crashed his car because of the Stillen Rotors(cracked during highway, ran into the divider or something)

And last time, i talked to my shop, they all told me not to get it from Stillen especially the rotors, but they did tell me that the Big brake kit from Stillen is okay???

Anyone??

Are they offering a cross-drilled or only the slotted? I've one or the other has a tendency to crack. Don't remember which style, though.

Yes, it's possible for the xdrilled rotors to crack, but it's also possible for the slotted to cause stress cracks. The majority of the problems is from misabuse, uneven torquing of the lug nuts, and/or improper break-in. If the above listed procedures are follwed, you should have no problems. I've sold tons of the cross drilled rotors and have yet to have one customer call me up and tell me that their rotor has cracked. Each customer I tell how to break them in, along with checking the torque on the lugs.

I ran xdrilled in the front and slotted in the back.. I beat the crap out of my car - drag racing, autoXing, etc.. not one problem
