I would look in the group deal. Reason being is that these are no-named brand rotors. Get some Brembo's and you'll be ok with peace of mind. My .02

Why don't you call the number given on the auction site;
Wholesale Direct Parts
2851 E. White Star Unit: B
Anaheim, Ca 92806
Phone: (714) 666-8585
and ask who make them and what type of warranty they have.

The rotors look good. As long as the slots are not all the way out to the edge of the rotor and u get the ones pictured I'd go with it. Im new to the maxima world so I dont know if the price is reasonable. But I'd fork out the cash for those if I needed new ones. Thats just my .02

But there is peace of mind going with a renowned co like Brembo though like Andrew said...but also a higher price tag. So its kind of a toss up.

I agree, I would be a little hesitant about buying these because of the no-name brand. Cliche as it may be, you get what you pay for!

True enough on getting what you pay for. I think there's somebody in the group buy section with brembo rotors and axxis pads altogether for less than 250, so I'll probably do that. THe rotors won't be slotted/drilled, but I'm ok with that. Really just want that for the looks.

For $300, you can get something much better. Definately check out the group deals section.

FWIW.. I have these rotors front and rear on my 2K... I have about 5K miles on them so far without any complaints. I was very "easy" on them the first 500 miles and since then I give them the usual "aka hell". I have had no warping or noticeable problems. Brake fade is much less on the positive end. The only thing I noticed was a little bit of noise when getting on the brakes hard.. Its like a wizzing noise that you will pick up on but your passengers won't. My guess is it is the slots and holes and obvious friction/air pressure changes causing the noise. I have NO complaints so far. They still look shiny and cool too!!

Axxis pads are brand name. Not sure about the rotors though
