Brembo Rotors

Anyone here have the Brembo X-Drilled rotors installed on their MAX 2000? I want to dump the stock-warped rotors for the Brembo or Stillen Rotors. Nissan Canada dealer told me that my rotors are getting warped again and told me to be carefull how I drive. WTF?!? I don't do 120km/h to 10km/h! Morons.

How many times have you had your rotors replaced?

I get a little jidder on off ramps and very sudden stops. I am not sure I will even bring it to Nissans attention. I might just go aftermarket right away.

I'm saving up for these Stillen Brakes

The mod bug has hit me big time this last months. FSTB, springs, tires and rims. Oh yeah, the Ionic breeze from Sharper Image as well (for my crib)

Try this, get new rotors or get yours resurfaced. THen buy Performance Friction Carbon Brake Pads from Auto PArts store $32. They dont heat up like stock pads do. They stop better too. My stock pads would overheat then glaze then warp my rotors...

No. The Stillen kit that is referred to in this post is stock size so it'll be the same dimension as what is on the vehicle now. No need to upgrade your wheels.
