Pads and rotors for 12' Maxima suggestions
#2
I am in the same boat with my Infiniti EX35. I just purchased Powerstop Cross drilled and slotted rotors with Powerstop Ceramic Pads to go all the way around. They have great reviews and I have never heard bad about them. Im planning on doing the install in the next week or so

Maybe a year or so ago I bought EBC slotted and dimpled rotors. With EBC redstuff pads. Right off the bat, I noticed improved braking power. To tell you how it felt compared to OEM, I'd say that if my new setup is a 10, the OEM was a 7.5. So, I've enjoyed that extra braking confidence. And they look nice.
However...a year later, I've got a few complaints. I've been dealing with the extra braking noise, and that's always kinda bugged. Worth it for the braking improvement, but still annoying. Also, they're warped now. Not severely, but enough that I pulled the front rotors off and took em to get turned. Little did I know, all the shops around me are telling me they can't turn slotted/drilled rotors. So I had to reinstall and just deal with it.
Next time, I'll be getting regular rotors. And not from EBC. I feel like the braking improvement is probably more due to the better pads than anything else. I've been happy with the redstuff pads. Low dust, and have worked great. Take what you will from my experience. Good luck with your upgrade.
