6th Gen Rotors: What to Buy?

Sooo, doing brakes on my car (yes I know I have a 4th gen), and I am coming across not too many manufacturers for A34 front rotors....

I want slotted A34 rotors... not plain or x-drilled/slotted.

I've been looking at EBC, good brand?

Power Slot?

Rotora??

I had power slots with hawks pads as my first set-up and they were the best I ever had. Right now I have rotorpros from rich with hawks pads and I dont miss my first set-up that much. I was looking for brembo but they were on back orders so I have no input for them but they are also some awesome rotors. I can not confirm this however I heard that many brand rotor makers buys centric blanks and then slot them or cross drill them and sell them with their own brand names.

Since when does brembo make slotted rotors for the 6th gen?

Even better question, where do you even find brembo blanks (even though I am only interested in slotted rotors) for the 6th gen??

Ah you bring up another question, are Altima front rotors the same as 04-05 maxima rotors? I've noticed that in a couple of places they list the cars under the same rotor...

IIRC Altima SER rotors and 6th gen Max rotors are the same but the Alty S, SL, SE rotors are smaller.

gotcha, and do you happen to know the difference between eline and premium? Which one do you have?

I'm liking the price of the eline....

Premium has painted rotor hats to keep them from getting that surface rust. Save the $$, get some paint and do it yourself. That's what I did.
