I'm also done with Nissan OEM Rotors after "judder" tsb was done twice under warranty and last one only lasted 4k. I'm now out of warranty.

Just ordered new Stillen Rotors, Pads, and Brake Lines from Avalon Racing for $350. I believe their prices are cheaper than getting directly from Stillen. Having them installed this week.

They have a web-site (www.avalonracing.net), but I ended up ordering over the phone. Contact is:

My Stillen xd rotors have arrived and will be installed

next week along with the Axxis pads. I paid 199 for the rotors and 47 for the pads from www.eatricezone.com
Can't wait to drive again without the juddering. OEM rotors suck !!

would i have to replace my brake lines and pads too if i need the stillen rotors? I think my pads are about 70% new in front and maby 50% in the back. I have stock nissan brake pads. Would the stilled drilled rotors be the best ones for me?

I believe that brake Lines do NOT have to be replaced when you get the rotors. Everything I've read says to replace the pads when you do the rotors. Stillen pads are cheap. Why risk damaging expensive rotors to save a couple of $$$ on pads?

I ordered the Stillen Rotors and Axxis pads from GR Racing for the same price as eatricezone.com I think $250 for the Stillen rotors and Axxis pads is a great price. I can't wait until they get here.

I someone get's around to installing theirs before me, please post some details about any complications.

BTW - the new break lines (being stainless steel) will not expand like the stock rubber, so more pressure goes to the caliper. But this is completely optional part of the brake upgrade.

GR Racing = www.eatricezone.com = "got rice?"



Good place to STOP for brake stuff - very professional/helpful.

I bought:

+Goodrich stainless steel braided lines
+Brembo slotted rotors
+ATE Super Blue DOT 4 racing brake fluid

Ooops - That would certainly explain why I got the same price.

I agree, very good place to deal with.

"Looks" was not one of my considerations. Having reliable rotors that won't warp at a minimal $$$ cost is. When I eventually have to do the rear rotors, I will do it then with XD Stillen (assuming the front XD Stillens hold up better than the Nissan OEM rotors have.)

From what I understand the Stealin XD rotors are Brembo rotors that Stealin cross drills. Does anyone have the Brembo's without the cross drilling? I just want aftermarket replacements. With crossdrilled rotors, there is a possiblity that hairline cracks will appear in the outside edges. Not something I want to deal with.

If I was worried about looks I wouldn't be driving a Miata
