Brembo OEM style replacement rotors

Anyone have any input on these? I need new rotors and don't want to buy Nissan. I found them for $51 and change on thepartsbin.com w/ free shipping.

I had a set of the Brembo's that I paid $50 each for and they were so noisy. Besides that they warped really fast. I turned them and they warped again.

I now have Diversified Products Frozen Rotors and they kick ***. No warpage.

I havent had a problem with the brembos. What kind of pads were u using?

well you are paying more than twice as much for cryogenically treated rotors, so you'd expect them to kick a$$.

Cryo treated rotors

I was using EBC's which I didn't like. I now use Performance Friction Z rated.

BTW, paying more for rotors that won't warp is, IMO, considered a savings. I don't really like turning rotors every other month and would pay extra not to have to do this. I think that I have accomplished this with the use of frozen rotors.

Time will tell and I will post a thread when the rotors finally do need to be turned so we can all see how long that these things will last. For now they are as smooth as silk.

BTW, they were installed in November of 2003.
