I am looking to get new brakes (Rotors & Pads) for my Maxima 01', which ones do you guys suggest? Which ones should I stay away from?

I'm currently running AAP Platinum ceramics and AAP rotors. Both are quiet, have good pedal feel and don't leave brake dust. They can be gotten for a steal using discount codes.

Check out RockAuto and Amazon as well. Akebono's are highly regarded for Japanese cars. This is a good time to also flush your brake fluid if it's old.

 

I bought new eBay rotors and pads, replaced all corners a few months ago for ~$100 shipped. It was a steal. The car stops SO much better now. I also did a brake fluid flush.

This is the seller's page: http://www.ebay.com/usr/fastsource_a...72.m2749.l2754

If you are looking for drilled/slotted stuff, brakemotive on eBay has great reviews across other forums.

 

Stay away from EBC yellowstuff so dusty

 

They're awesome.

 

Hawk HPS pads.

 

I installed a set of PowerStops rotors and pads and I am very happy with them. Rockauto.com sells the complete "daily driver" set (four rotors, pads, hw kit) for ~ $124 and I feel the quality is better than my previous setup (Brembo rotors + Raybestos pads). They also sell "performance" kits with drilled/slotted rotors but there are good reasons to stay away from those.

 

if you have time and money get the 6th gen front calipers... BBK upgrade is always the best route.
Also take a look at the akebono brake pads. I have a set of those and the Centric black hub painted rotors. 35k+ miles and the brakes still look like I just put them on last month. Great stopping power and zero to no dust.

 

What's your budget?
