I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my 5.5 gen Maxima with 6th Gen parts - (I've already confirmed that this will work). I am hoping that someone could recommend to me some light weight 6th gen rotors? The OEM rotor on the 5.5 gen is around 16lbs. and I'm told the OEM 6th gen rotor is around 22 lbs. Any help with this would be appreciated. Note the rotor does not need to be x-drilled or slotted, but it is also okay if they are. Last, I don't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money. The idea is for me to buy a big brake kit for cheap.

Thanks!

What you are asking for is why you have your problem. The reason the 6th gen rotors are better not only because of a larger diameter which has its leverage advantages but the added mass reduces warping posibilities.

Without reducing performance to go lighter would require a different material.
