IRotors 1994-2001 MAXIMA Front/Rear Combo

Irotors came through and sent over a complete set of rotors to review, and I must say they are pretty damn nice and they work great. I havent had much time to test them out, but from what I can see they look promising. If you would like to see the review, with pictures and the like follow the link below:

im not sure what that piece is called, but both of mine off the front had gotten seriously rusted from not having center caps. I took a wire brush and brushed them both down real good and they look brand new, luke go get a brush and scrub that stuff off, you will dance around and shout when you see the results.

these rotors look great ! im still on the stock rotors, they are 8 years old and rusted and lame but they are 13.5 lbs.

could you please put your old oem rotors on a scale and weigh them. front and then back. also what size are oem in inches ? this would be great info.

simple green and a strong hose and good brush will clean up all that junk and grease behind rotor, i had to clean mine recently

Thanks man, I have the stock rotors here I will measure/weight them when I get back. About the end of the axle shaft I will take a wire brush to it the next time I get under there. Im surprised you didnt see the mess my CV boot left

I ran out of simple green, my dad bought some really crappy stuff, time to get another bottle.

don't bother with simple green.. just go to your local car wash at about 1am sometime.. jack the car up and pull the wheel off. go to town with their pressure washer.

I've had these rotors on my car for about 8 months now and have been really pleased with their performance and quality over the OEM's.

The specs go as such,

Front OEM Discs - 15lbs -- 11"
Rear OEM Discs - 9-10lbs -- 11"

That is the most I could find out for you without getting all kinds of rust on my fingers

I don't have irotors. I have Brembo slotted/dimple, basically the same. They really haul the Max down quickly I love them. The whooshing noise under braking is a little annoying, kind of sounds like bugs in a way.

Great write up
