Well...

That's probably the best way to do it. At least you're saving time. By 'cad,' plated rotors, do you mean cadmium? If so, that's pretty cool. What brand are they, if you don't mind me asking?

Actually, I'm about to do the same thing. Tell me why you chose Kevlar pads over others and how much did they cost? My current pads squeek so much it makes you wanna drive drunk so the squeeling wont bug ya.

because they give you the best stopping power over every other pad out for the maxima.

Why not also put in braided steel brake lines too

When I did my front and rear's I put in the cross drilled and slotted rotors(plated also and appears to be helping with the rust). I also painted the calipers and put in the braided steel lines. The braided steel lines seem to help alot. if you get stuck at any point feel free to email me, and I will be glad to offer any help I can
