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:

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
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.

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.

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.

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

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...
