Hello everyone... new member here. I'm sure this has been covered, but I don't have time to search for it now. So, please forgive me. I promise to come back and read the FAQs later.

I have a '96 Maxima with 163k miles. The OE rotors have not fared well. They warp/wear unevenly very quickly and just get worse over time. The originals warped. Had them resurfaced and they warped. Had new ones installed at the dealer and they warped.

There's a lot of shudder now and I want to put on some decent aftermarket rotor that won't warp. Must be reasonably priced, nothing fancy, just want it to hold up on a daily driver. Not looking for anything in the racing category. A good pad recommendation to compliment the rotor would also be appreciated. I'm not hard on the brakes and my OE pads have always lasted a long time. It's just he rotors that seem weak.

Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated.

It probably is the way you treat the rotors... proper cool down and not washing them when hot...

Even when my brakes were stock sized... I never warped/cracked them...

Just get good quality pads... eg..Porterfields R4S or the like.
