Brake help decision

I have 37k on my car now after doing the TSB one time on the front rotor. I feel that there is a slight vibration starting when i brake.

there is a really good group deal for 200 dollars all 4 rotors. should i just get it and get rid of the crappy Nissan ones? or just keep on resurfsing it and just put their crappy pads.

Well, since you're no longer under warranty, they'll charge you for the resurfacing, right? Might as well get the aftermarket ones. $200 for 4 rotors is a great price.

I got my rotors resurfaced and the pads replaced at 30K miles. I now have 35K miles and the brakes are starting to vibrate again. I signed up for the aftermarket rotors group deal.

Metal matrix are supposed to be good. Check www.eatricezone.com or www.avalonracing.net for good prices.

Or you can get ebc greenstuff pads from tire rack, but they supposedly make more brake dust, so if you hate having to clean your light-colored rims, you might not want these.

You could even keep the stock brake pads unless the warped rotors damaged them. Or you can order a new set of stock brake pads, but it'd be better to go aftermarket.
