"Brake Performance" Rotors
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with "Brake Performance" rotors.
They can be found at http://brakeperformance.com/site/bra...0408&ad=google
Have you guys had any problem with rusting, vibrations, squealing, lower stopping power?
Thanks,

There are 5 grades of SAE approved cast iron for brake rotors, each has its + and - depending upon what parameter you wish to enhance.
OEM has had the most expensive research and development for a particular vehicle.........in the quanities Nissan purchases cast iron grade is not a cost factor whereas quietness and durability cold and hot are major factors.
Squeeling and goan noise are primarily a pad vibration not rotor related unless they are slotted or drilled, but you can mismatch pads and rotors and create serious noise problems.
This gives you a place to start looking:
