For street driving, AP 330mm crossdrilled and slotted 2-piece rotors, with Ferodo DS2500 pads.

Yep, OEM is so problem-free it's not even funny. I doubt any of the expensive solutions even stop the car any sooner, so why bother? We're talking about 4th gen Maximas, not Carerra 4s's.

It's nice to do a 15/min. per wheel brake job, and never come back to it for 4+ years. That's what OEM provides. Speaking of which my front pads are on their 3rd year, looked at them Fri.--same thing, 45k later they're still fat as all heck.

The only issue with OEM's is that they are 'squeal' prone. I would get your existing rotors 'turned' and as 2speed mentioned, Axxis Ultimate creamtic pads are great.

When you do finish redoing your brakes, 'burn them in'. There's a great sticky in the FAQ on how to do that.
