Who else makes rotors for 2000 maxima
Does anybody know if there other companies that make rotors for the 2000-2002 maxima's other then stillen. Because I am looking for cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

Go to CONTEMPORARY MOTORSPORTS & enter your vehicle parameters. You should see the nice rotors they have. Don't know if they're Stillen or not - or even if the price is for the pair/sinlge rotor - if u find out let us know.

cross-drilled
slotted
they are Cadium Platted Silver and are $70.00 for front and $83.00 for rear (each). Which are better cross-drilled or slotted?

Allright they are KVR and they either come in slotted or cross-drilled

Slotted discs offer cleaning of the friction material (brake pads), but do little in terms of additional heat dissipation. Slotted brake discs do not cool better than cross drilled discs or even standard discs. The face grooves will slice the brake pad material allowing the pad to bite harder into the disc, therefore causing an increase in disc temperatures. This is recommended for competition vehicles to bring pads and disc temperatures up to optimal operating ranges. (Race cars warm-up engines, tires and brakes for the best possible performance).

Cross Drilled Discs offer an enhanced initial bite (more responsive, especially in wet weather) and greater heat dissipation (reduction in heat induced fade - "brake fade") as compared to O.E.M.

Why not get a big brake kit?

So would want cross-drilled.

In my opionion, I don't think it's worth upgrading to CD or slotted rotors b/c the gains will be minimal.. Where the big brake kit upgrades to 6 pistons.. Therefore upgrading the stopping power tremendously.. Ofcourse, money is the only issue...

I will be looking to get something other than Nissan OEM rotors, not to increase brake performance, but because the Nissan OEM rotors warp so easily. I would think that many people have the same reason. Of course, increased performance is nice also!
