Whats up peeps!!!

I went ahead and bought the rotorspros drilled/slotted rotors and the Hawk pads. And as promised... here is the post!!
Check it out!!!

Thanks Chern for the hook up on the rotors and Deus for the recommendation on the pads and brake fluid. I am the only person in atleast 5 towns with these on a Max. Thanks fellas!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!

Nice pic of everything before install. I went with the Valvoline Synthetic Brake Fluid. Thanks Deus!!

I didnt know we were limited to how many pics!!! Booo!! lol I will post more guys YAY YAY YAY!!!

 

This is the place that did it up right for me. If you are on Long Island... This is the place to go!!



The big dude is Dan. He actually did the work for me. The other dude just walked in the camera and posed then jumped in his car. I have no clue who he is. LOLOLOLOL!!!

 

sweet man just one question though... didnt i read in a different thread that you were selling your car or just put it on craigslist ?

Either way... Nice set up im looking to do an upgrade REALLy soon maybe ill talk to chern/dues and get the same info

 

Grimmax! Long time no talk, looks like your @ it again, hooking that max up. Definitely, a great upgrade for the over-all appearance & suspension, very appealing. Keep us all posted with your next mod in the near future, an submit some more pics of a full angle of your ride. Looks like you've done some other mods since I've seen it last on C/D. Later........

 

what is the cost of the upgrade/project?

 

Looks hot.

 

Another satified customer!!! Looks great but ensure you break them in right, at least 500 miles of long stops and minimal heavy braking...

 

They look goob bro!!

 

Looking good man, yeah didn't you say you had your car up on craigslist or something?

 

glad you got the rotors properly.
kam

 

LOl Yeah I put it on craiglist but I still want to do things to her. I figure it would help out also. I was thinking about talking her off though criaglist yesterday though. I dont know brother....

Thanks a lot!!

 

Thanks Chern!! Yeah when I took her out from the shop, I was trying to do what was written on the Hawk Pads Box... you know.. that whole braking that at 35 mph then at 45.

I also wanted to ask you, Is there something that I can use to clean them? Cause they arent shining like they were before the pads touched them.

Yours look mega shiny!! lol
(That didnt sound right.. But you know what I mean!! lololol)

 

Good hearing from you my friend

I will try to get more pics up soon. Thanks brother!!

 

where can i get all of this?

 

I went to ebay and type in Nissan Maxima drilled slotted rotors.
Go with rotorpros though.

 

Nice! They do look good.

 

Thanks bro

 

Dang, at first I thought the red looked cheesy but after seeing the close-up pic of the sweet metal flake it looks kinda nice. I still prefer the fully zinc coated, but still nice lookin' brother.

 

so do you feel any difference in braking now? What can I expect to gain if I got this setup or something similar?

 

Well the brakes are still breaking in. I was informed about 500 miles until they are extremely good to go. But I have notice that the car does stop and slow down a lot better. It is worth it. I wanted an upgrade mainly cause of the rims. They are heavy and the stocks were not really letting me stop like I want to.

 

HEy Chern Could you get me the link for the rotors! I need some bad and Where are you IN MD, I am in Souside of Baltimore. I wanna see the beast in person!

 

Hey bud...

You can just go to ebay and type in Nissan maxima Drilled Slotted Rotors
Look for the year and get rotorpros. Later!!

 

I got mine on ebay recently for 150$, guy added F/R ceramic pads for an extra $80. With ship I think it was like $240'ish to the door. For the price I couldn't be happier. Drilled/Slotted/Zinc'd.

 

Go to eBay Motors and do a search for RotoPro rotors for a Nissan Maxima...

Oh and I'm about 1.5 hrs south of you near Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Lexington Part, MD.

 

Don't start that crap again! LOL. Mine were shipped to me from the same vendor with markings on the boxes opposite of what this shows. So that's how I had them installed.

Now I have a rant here, after reading all of that other long **** thread with Chern & Dues saying how happy they were, I also purchased this upgrade (with redstuff pads). I do not recall reading ANYTHING in that thread about how to break these in.

Now while at best this makes a minimal difference, I didn't do anything special for the first 500 miles. I wasn't out racing either, but just average around town driving. Am I at risk here?

 

IMO yes, although my rotors did not come with any warnings, my new brake pads did and it stated the first 500 miles you should brake slower and use longer stopping distances. Just like anything, common sense says give all new things some break-in time...

 

Why didn't you have them paint your eyelids..?


The brakes look good. I've had zero problems with mine.

 

LOL!!

I left them black because I like the black under side in the front. That vinyl part helps the eyelids stick out as long as I leave the black (Atleast thats what I figure).

Thanks brother

 

do you guys think that by changing the rotors or having drilled rotors will completely kill the shimmy on the max? I was driving down hill one time and boy my steering felt like it was going to come off loose!

 

The shimmy that some cars have has never been tied to the brakes, shimmy's were normally felt when driving at the 50-70mph speed by most who had it and if you feel a bad shimmy when braking, suspect would be warped rotors which has been somewhat common...

 

Sorry for the late reply, my rotors actually got more shinny after break-in by the new EBC pads alone. I tend not to buff or polish rotors for fear of making them slip under heavy braking. Not good...

 

so what's the best way to get around the shimmy? because it's bugging the h@## out of me right now? is it the pads or rotors? I'm looking for new rotors but don't know what's the best kind to get for my 06 max! can you give a brotha a hand in this matter??
