I need to replace my pads and rotors on my 95 maxima, but dont feel like spending $600 again. What are you guys paying for zinc plated cross drilled rotors? and where can I buy them from?

 

check out Automax95s groupdeal

40 bucks for rotors 33 for pads something like that its a steal

 

check www.irotors.com they have good stuff that is what I have on my car now.

 

irotor's owner is related to my boss, and he told me they use CHINA rotors, buyers beware =)

thanks

What is wrong with "CHINA rotors"? Alot of things in the US are made in China.

 

Yes, I know and what is that have to do with rotors?
Thats for the consumer to deicde and from what I know, 1/10 people get china rotors and later on that one person end up buying austrial rotors anyhow.
As a matter of fact I also carry china rotors, and I can sell them for $50 per pair zinc plated to spec. thats $33 cheaper than Brembo.[ Cheap but bad quailty, most of the time you get what you pay for and this is the time] But guess what, I don't want to deal with customers complains. If anything happen to the rotor while driving thats all on me,.lawsuit etc.......
About a year ago one of my friend bought a set of china made rotors and guess what after 500 miles of driving the center piece fall out, the piece where you bolt your rotor on to the car, you call that safe? And he sued the $hit out of the company and got 100g. Not only the company who made the rotors but also the company that sells the rotors!!
over all MOST China rotors have bad quailty, I am not saying all but most.

I don't usually sell them unless the buyer Ask too while they know the consequencs.
End of my story

btw That is whats wrong with MADE IN CHINA ROTORS

 

can't beat automax prices and value

 

i paid about $280 shipped for 4 brembo cross/drilled rotors, and $80 something for hawk HP pads.

 

I'm in need of 2 front slotted rotors. I want something quieter than my current Stillen Cross Drilled rotors.

 

automax - thank you for the heads up, I don't want to jinks myself but I have had my irotors on for a while and no problems but like you said 1/10.

This will give me something to look for tho when I get my inspection.

 

i know what you mean.
There are things that i wouldn't buy that's made in china. But as with auto parts, i really don't really care. But now that you provided some examples, i'll reconsider.

 

$tillenmax2k thx

deezo you got p.m

2kprlmax, Not ALL china rotors are crap, and I think Irotors sells the High standard CHINA rotor, you shouldn't worrie. But than is better to check than be sorry

My friend has a 95 Max with a Stillen crossdrilled rotors that are already showing stress cracks around the holes. He didn't notice it until we rotated his wheels last month. He said that it has only 2,000 miles of use, including some dragstrip runs. And i have the Irotors on my car and it has been on my car for over a year. After seeing what happened to his brakes, i checkd mine. All seems to be in good condition. I have so far about more than 10,000 miles on it.

Dragstrip is the keys to your answer =)

Under normal, daily dirving nothing will crack.

 

Answered.

 

lets see

te reason why I just ordered some rotors and pads from jason isss..... MADE IN CHINA ROTORS!! cheap *** Chinese rotors and pads... warped beyond reason, hard compound... basically those pads and those rotors caused me to get into an accident last year... damn car wouldnt stop- on all my car (not my gfs) i have quality brakes and if theres one thing I feel comfortable of when I get on the brakes... is that i'm going to stop

the pads and rotors on my gfs 240 are fine... about 6 monthes old... but they dont stop for ish... and the rotors are warped like crazy... time for some brembos

 

there is known i've tried them all. i finally wound back up with stillen.the noise comes from the holes or slots, thats the price we pay for performance..

 

I know it's the holes. I've had these things for over 3 years and they're on there way out and that's another reason I need new rotors.

 

Hey Jay, did you get my PM. I think that will be your best bet.

 

i had the same problem with the crack in the holes. two things caused it.
1. i only had them in the front to much force on the front, were like back brakes never existed.
2.the way they were drilled.
i just recently purchased some new stillen rotors, which are by the way made by brembo. with the new chamfer hole(deep radius) which keep the holes from cracking and purchased four of them.
when you just replace the front two, you put a lot of pressure on them
causing them to stress. with all four they're all getting the same amount of pressure. so far so good i think my problem is solved. p.s. i went thru about three pair in 1 year due to those factors, and now they're o.k.also sp sporato also makes a good cross drill for a little cheaper than stillen
with the same chamfer holes...trust me on this

 

What does the dragstrip do to your rotors? You mean slowing down from 95 is hard on them?

 

I beat the hell out of my rotors driving around to meets with Sprintmax, Medicsonic, DMBMaxima and the names go on. Everytime we drove to meets, we were averaging 100MPH. The drilled rotor have done me well but I really done care for the noise anymore.

 

Yes, what's the point of drilled rotors if you can't beat the hell out of them?

 

Seriously, go search around the internet. There must be over 1000s of answer from professional brake specialist. If you are really interest of knowing about them then you should go read about it, believe me......... you will gain lots of knowledge.


jason

 

Whats better, drilled, sloted or both?

 

So, stopping from 95 is hard on them?

 

If you do that many times at once yes is hard on them, don't belive me try it. Even Brembo Big brake kit under hard bracking circumstance IT WILL crack.

 

I am using PowerStop rotors from

http://www.powerstopbrakes.com/

I don't remember what I paid per rotor, maybe $79? I didn't really care since I view brakes as a safety device and would never try to nickel and dime in that area. I got both front and rear cross drilled rotors.

As for the pads, I'm running Axxis Ultimate pads, not the MetalMaster. The Axxis Ultimates are a newer formulation.

Stopping power is just crazy, between 5 - 40 mph, I can lock the belts hard with ABS kicking in. On the highway between 40 - 90mph, pedal modulation is good and the pads are not "grabby" at all unless you really slam on the pedal.

My old factory brakes were a disaster waiting to happen. This is how a car should stop.

 

my brakes are shot and i was about to buy cheapo brake pads from autozone but would like rotors and whatnot but dont want to spend unless mine are bad. HOw can u tell if your rotors are warped?

 

i have brembo cross drilled rotors for about 2 months or so. i heard they crack in the long run, and i really hope it won't happen.

i have faith in brembo product. if they last for at least 2 years then i'll be pretty happy about it.

 

Autozone sells the Performance Friction pads that are really good.

 

What about one slow down from 95, then 20 minutes in the staging, lanes then another pass? Say 5 or 6 times?

 

If it will make you feel better about getting crossed drilled rotors, I've been driving on mine for about 3 years. That includes racing at the strip, street and highway. They do have hairline cracks in them but they're still doing good.

 

I'm feeling fine thanks. Whenever they become available for the 04 I want some, but not if they are more delicate than the OEM rotors. If they won't hold up to use at the dragstrip, what about 95 to nothing at the Interstate? I think I'm willing to take the chance.

 

I think what you should do is just go ahead with the slots. You'll still be removing that layer of gases that high heat will produce on pads to reduce brake fading. I've never heard of slots cracking and they look good too.
