Howzit goin org'ers? Do you recommend just changing brake pads or the whole thing? For example, rotors and calipers? And how hard is it? I'll be doing the change this weekend and it'll be my first time. Thanks in advance for any advice

if your rotors arn't warped don't replace them. if when you step on the brakes you get bad vibrations they are warped.
new rotors cost 20 a piece from pepboys.
don't use OEM pads. anything but OEM. they dust and warped rotors or so people say. hawks are the current boner on the org.
changing brakes are easy on a maxima you should be done in an hour.
oh and you never change calipers unless they are stuck or you are upgrading(which in most cases is not worth doing as it can F up your ABS system and can actually make you stop slower)

 

Just search here on the forum, there are millions of links on brake jobs, or look on autozone's website. If you haven't paid yet to search here on the forum, pay, it's worth it.

Changing rotors and pads are very easy, but if it's just a basic brake job, just change the pads and take the rotors in to get resurfaced, or if they're too thin, buy new rotors.
