Does anyone know how much the 2002 stock rotors weigh?

 

roro: We do not have the rear rotors yet. Only the rotors that say they are curved vanes, here is our complete list of one-piece rotors that have been upgraded from straight vane to curved vane:

NAS: I have sent you a private message.

 

any plans on the rear rotors coming soon? i'm hesitant to get the fronts w/o matching rears...

also note that the 11.5" x .35" would fit all 02-06 altimas as well

 

I just got word that the rear rotors should be available shortly, (Begining of next month). I will keep you guys updated.

 

did we ever get a comparison on the 300zx calipers and these? cause im just skeptical about the fact that its the same calipers, just bigger rotors...
oh im also curious about the major differences in the 2 piece and the one piece rotors cause the weight differences is only 2 pounds. and its twice as much.

 

Both of the kits will give you more torque leverage and prevent brake fade, but the two-piece rotors are meant to deliver this over a longer period of time (IE. you will feel a major difference doing 10 stops in a succession from 100-20mph).

The two-piece light weight rotors handle the heat a lot more effeciently over the one-piece rotor because it allows the disc to expand and contract as well as a better air exchange with the convergent vane design. From your daily / endurance street driving car to anyone that is at the track or doing anything similiar to this will experience a better over-all brake feel.

The one-piece rotor kits are perfect for your daily street driver / light track racing. It is an affordable kit that will bolt directly to your stock system, and give you the braking power that you have been looking for.

For brake pads we recommend Hawk HPS & HP Plus for the street, and Hawk's Motorsports compounds (DTC-60 / DTC-70..etc.) for the track.

Hope this helps, and gives you a better understanding of what the differences are.

Have you done any braking distance tests to determine what improvement a prospective buyer might expect when using the 1 piece kit over stock? Since you mention that improvement is achieved by torque leverage, what is the size difference over the front oem rotors on the 2002 Max? Do you carry the Hawk HPS pads that you mentioned, if so, how much?
Thanks

 

any updates for the 04+ maximas?

 

Ahh glad there is finally an affordable kit that's out with a direct bolt-on process rather than cutting, triming blah blah blah. plz PM me a price for the 2-piece rotors for a 02' Max.

 

No I do not have any brake distance data. The larger rotor is a bigger heat sink, allowing you to make multiple stops without any fade. For the 2002 Maxima the OEM rotors are 296mm, and the upgrade is 324mm, that is a difference of 28mm. Yes, we stock the Hawk HPS pads (Maxima Pads listing with price). We offer brake pad discounts with the kits.

Sorry no updates.
You have a message.

do you have those 04+ rear rotors yet?

 

any update on the rear rotors?

 

update please

 

Has anyone purchased a set and tried them out yet?

 

i have been wondering the same thing

 

This thread is going no where unless someone knowledgable purchases a kit, fully tests it, and post many actually numbers and pics.

 

I have cross drilled/slotted rotors from racing brake, had for about a year and have been tremendously happy with the products, and these are only 1 piece. I seen the 2 pieces before, I can only imagine how well they work. Definitely my first recommendation for Maxima stopping power. I need new rear rotors, the stockers are shot. I'll be sending you guys a PM on that.

 

04-07 rear rotors are in stock ready to ship.

Do you sell JUST the rotors ? I'm interested in the pricing. If the caliper just gets moved outward that means I can use a 300ZX Sumitomo caliper without a problem as long as the correct relocation brackets are used.... Let me know the "kit" pricing and just the rotors... I'm tempted to experiment.

 

Currently we just sell the kit only (rotor + brackets). I will message you the kit pricing.

For some reason, I can not send a PM. I have a 2001 Maxima and would like to get a price on the kit and pads.
Thanks!

 

any upgrades for teh 04+ max's yet?

 

I sent you a PM for both the prices of both kits.

 

When I try to send a PM i get this error: "daddymax has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her."

You will have to go into your options and enable it.

Just the one-piece stock replacement rotors:
Front (9161-111 - Slotted only)
Rear (9713-111 - Slotted only)

I sent you a message.

 

sdoow, how does those rotors compare to brembo blanks or even their slotted product lines?

 

We do not have any comparisons with the brembo rotors. We recommend you purchase our brake kit and compare it yourself. If you are not completely satisfied with the brake performance within 30 days, than send the kit back for a refund.

 

Hey hey Steve told you this was gonna be a weekend project thx for the fast shipping, was able to do this lastnight(Saturday Mar. 1).. Brakes feel great has a better bite than stock rotors although i'm using the stock calipier.

Hey SoundMike thx.. I had to go back to my friends shop to adjust the Megan Coilovers which ride great.. was gonna get K-Sports but heard about these glad I went with them.. Anywayz I was gonna come back ad adjust pics.. I got more to load up.. thx again Steve at racingbrake for the quick delivery.. Ah Irish glad to see u still around.

*free bump*

 

hey crooklyn can that kit fit on a 1995 max with 2004 max rims if so can i get a price plus shipping to brooklyn, NY but i want to do a mail order can you PM me the address holla back. ONE!!

 

This kit is only good for 00-03 Maxima's.

 

Great spring/summer deals, message me!

 

Do you have rear calipers for our Gen 4 cars? I need new ones and I DO NOT want them to be like OEM... they just suck because they sieze in like 5-8 years and I think corkscrew calipers is a bad design...

 

Bump for a front 4th gen kit.
