hey guys i dont post here often, but im doing a budget brake build for my 2003 nissan altima. i have found calipers and brackets. all i need help with is pads and rotors. can anyone please recommend me some. thanks.

oh if you were wondering im powder coating them black, putting in stainless lines on all four corners. thanks for you help, i greatly appreciate it.

If you're not looking for high performance rotors like cross drilled/slotted, go for Brembo. For front pads, go for Bendix IQ. They are better than OEM in terms of not fading during traffic driving. For the rear, if Bendix IQ is not available, go for the OEM.

^^^so brembo does have blanks for the maxima. can you provide a site as to where i can get them. i have looked everywhere. thanks.

i dont want to buy ****y front rotors, because i dont want to keep getting new ones everytime these warp. i cant just turn drilled and slotted rotors, so can anyone provide any help. thanks. i really appreciate it greatly.

10K + miles later, still look great, no rust or warping of any kind like the Nissan OEM rotors...

From what I remember from old threads is that Brembo does not make rotors for our cars so watch out! And as for your choices on EBAY they all look pretty much like what I got from the GD...

Park2670

I say check that thread too. Im purchasing some new rotors from him soon for my max. Great price on blanks and all the other types too

Ive got the front and rears in the first link. They have almost 7000 on them and no problems besides the dusting for the first couple of months. Ive gotten used to the tick-tick of the double drilled rotors (didnt like the slotted) But as far as warping or pulsing like the stocks, I havent had anything... I would recommend.

walec05

thanks guys i really appreciate the responses. i would love to do both front and rear rotors, but i dont see a need to do my rears. they still have plenty of material left on them. ill keep you guys updated on my progress with the upgrade and the disk choise i go with.

Get your brake stuff from automax95 as the post ***** pointed out. wayyy better than oem, only reason I say that is because theres no warping with these.

I think our brakes recently sold out, but check with him for an update. He was recently overseas, not sure if he returned yet. But he has someone answering his PMs and contacting him if you need.

have you looked into these....
XD ROTORS FRT 04- MAXIMA

i pmd him and i might be getting them from him. should i get the pads he offers as well, or should i go with other ones. he wants $50 for the front pads. is that a good deal?

thanks supersonic, i have checked that link and they seem too expensive for my budget build. i really dont need anything cross drilled, and the slotted ones that automax95 is offering would work fine for me.

The pads I got from him seem to stop better than oem but definately have a lot more brake dust but I still enjoy them. Good luck!

walec05

^^^ya i dont want alot of dust. its horrible. the murrys pads i have on now are horrible. dust everywhere. i think ill go with hawk pads or something. ill see.

Nismo-
He still has some sets for the 6th gen. I ordered some from him Wednesday and I got my tracking number today.
Front & Rear XDrill/Slotted (Zinc Plated), ULTIMATE Ceramic Pads = $345.00 (includes shipping)!

I can't wait to get them on. I loved the way JSmith's looked with the silver calipers, so I repainted mine from black to silver (and ordered the nissan stickers from xenonmod).
