Um Albert, They don't list front rotors for 2K2+




Try these Frozen Rotors

I've got a greek buddy back home. He likes to tell you 1/2 a story too.

What's the name of the "Preformance store" and how do you get a hold of them?

Also are you sure these are for 2K2+ and not 2K1-?

I think the only choices are Brembo Blanks, Stillen Crossdrilled from www.southwestautoworks.com or Powerslot Slotted rotors. Those can be purchased from www.custommaxima.com.

You actually have a lot of options in various price ranges and styles.

The best rotors, in my opinion, to replace your stock ones, and for a low cost are Raybesto's Rotors. They aren't cross-drilled or slotted, but BIG IMPROVEMENT over stock rotors; plus they're not that expensive. They do offer cross-drilled and slotted rotors, but they didn't have any for a 2002-03 Maxima the last time I checked; but they may have them now. You can find a dealer from their site.

The next best option up the price/performance chain are the PowerStop Rotors. You can have the cross-drilled, slotted, or cross-drilled and slotted version. A little pricey, but nice rotors.

And from the "If money is no object" category, we have the very sweet Cryogenically Frozen Rotors. These are very expensive but people who have bought them tell me that they last forever and perform GREAT!

There are a lot of other choices in between these 3 options, but I like these the best.

And yes they all have your size in rotors. I have a 2003 SE and I'm going to go with the cross-drilled Powerstop Rotors

Best brake pads, again in my opinion, from good to great are the Raybesto's Pads, the Axxis Deluxe Plus, or Metal Master Pads, or the wonderful, but expensive Porterfield R4-S Pads. I'm goin with the Porterfield's.

Hope this helps. Let us know what you go with. Good luck
