I got the calipers, they were freshly rebuilt with 200 miles, pads, ss lines brackets and power slotted cyro rotors. Im gonna take the calipers apart send em to TRGcoating. Getting em powdercoated high gloss purple $40 a caliper and my Se-rs grey lustre, the color of your car =D

I honestly dont notice the gas diff but I also dont pay much mind. Just fill up when needed

Drat, you're right. Amazon has them at 16-thought you'd found a cost-effective lighter weight rotor. Thanks

Sick, are those the new tein coilovers? I'm gonna go either D2 or Megan racing in June/July. Tires, powdercoating rims and new tires are next. Overhauled almost my entire suspension today with new parts, mad happy. LOL

There's always these. Although not being 2pc, seems as if they just removed mass, which, IMO, doesn't seem like a good idea.

I don't track my car, so well, I have these

That and

that they don't offer blanks. http://www.racingbrake.com/NISSAN_MAXIMA_s/259.htm

Call and see if they can get you a set in blanks...might be cheaper. I know fastbrakes did that for me and the blanks weren't listed on the website.

I should weigh the spare 6th gen Centric blank rotor that I have just to get the exact weight on it.

You do realize that rotors might start out as blanks, then get drilled/slotted after.

-Edit and I paid $65 for each 2004 Maxima front caliper. Total shipped to my door was $162. This was from Felton's Auto Parts and way back in 2010!
