Need some options on aftermarket brake rotors

Hi all,

Well my rotors are warped again at 41K miles and I do not want to replace them with the stock Nissan rotors. Has anyone had any success finding better rotors at a comaparble price ?

i had called STILLEN, they said something like 650 for 4 rotors and i think it came with the stainless steel brake lines and the matrix pads.. but call to check it out.

This is a nice deal still in effect, I assume, for the Stillen kit.

Does anyone have pictures of these on a Max preferably with aftermarket rims?

Just wondering how the "bronze" rotors look behind rims.

Most cars come with brembo rotors stock, and Stillen just buys brembo blanks and cross drills/slots them, cadiuam plates them (which wears off after braking) and charges too much for them. Are you torquing your lugnuts correctly? I think thats probably the number one cause of warped rotors. Stillens brembos are probably less likely to crack than knockoffs on ebay, because I'm sure stillen puts a chamfer in the holes, but brembos are brembos. Just my $.02
