Recommendations for new rotors

I have 3300 miles on my '04, and I am already feeling the pulse in the
steering wheel when braking. My wife drives the car to and from work
which is only 5 miles round trip. No abuse. I'm not going to screw with this. Southwest Auto has Stillen replacements. Are they any good?
Doesn't seem that Brembo makes replacements as of yet. Anybody
here try Stillen?

i'd rather take it to the dealer and get new rotors before you get stillen brake kit
i think they will just resurface your rotors tho...

but if you have $$$, get stillen brake kit and show it off to us!!!

The Stillen rotors reportedly are merely OEM Nissans which have been cross-drilled. Why, then, would they represent any improvement?

Nissan will likely resurface them the first time and warranty for 1yr/12000 miles. If it happens again in that timeframe they will replace them.

If more than 12k miles, you are SOL

I knew that Stillen's were OEM sizes but I don't think they are actually made and designd the same as Nissan's... I havn't seen them though.

Someone bought them a while back and they had the Nissan part number stamped on them.

Baer Eradispeed rotors are a good way to go. Their single piece drilled and slotted rotors look great and stay that way because they are zinc coated. No rusting their very shiny finish.

I have them on a Cobra for over a year and they still look new.

Baer also offers two piece rotors, but they are very costly.

Do a web search for a good price. The Tire Rack is competitive with their stock.
