Where do you get your rotors from?

I need to buy new front rotors for my '03 Maxima and i like the PowerSlots and Brembo.

I heard that PowerSlots are good BUT noisy and i am a little concerned. I like them but since i will combine them with Raybestost QS pads i am not sure if this setup is really going to be "quiet". Any experience?

My other top choice would be Brembo rotors. I am not sure what would be better and more durable - blanks, slotted, drilled etc.... but I care about durability and drivability, not track performance.

My main problem - where do i buy genuine front Brembo rotors for 5 Gen Maxima for a good price?? I found a lot on Ebay, but i do NOT want to risk it and buy it from there. Where do you buy your Brembos? Any links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

www.autopartswarehouse.com sells Brembos for our cars. I ordered mine and I couldn't be happier.

Just wanted to make sure this sounded right. So if I get all 4 rotors and 4 sets of brake pads I am looking at $320. Is this pretty much how much I would spend if I got it done at a shop, plus what ever their labor is?

www.iRotors.com is where I got my complete set of direct replacement rotors. Black Zinc coated slotted and cross-drilled for $300 shipped. I'm running OEM brake pads with these.

My front rotors were part of the BBK from Precision. Got my rear rotors from maxed up.

My fronts were from Maxed Up, and my rears were Stillen. None ever made noise or warped. I always used stock Nissan OEM pads.....and SS brake lines....

You have to call them to get the '02 versions, but I purchased mine off of an auction they had listed on ebay that KLOOGY showed me.

I have Powerslots w/ OEM Pads, very happy with no noise.
Rotors I got from Nopi.com and pads I got from jerryromenissan.com. Also check out the group deal threads.

I had them installed at MIDAS with a Brake Flush for $160, all 4, using Valvoline Synthetic brake fluid.
