07 fx35 front brake rotors?
The front rotors on this car have warped twice, does anyone know where to get replacement rotors that are not slotted and will hold up. I used the brembo replacements before on other cars but I cant find them for the fx. Thanks for any help!

Go OEM. Btw, there is no such thing as warped rotors. And if their that bad anyway, they should have been replaced, stop resurfacing them.

Like I said go OEM, stop being a hard ***.

I have re-surfaced my rotors once, I won't do it again.. I say once is the most you want to re-surface a rotor. Each time (You are making it thinner and thinner)

I read that article, I still believe and have read articles online about heat warping rotors, as well as other things like blackspotting, and torquing the lugs correctly... But you win.. anyway, I have never resurfaced the rotors on this car and my new ones are doing the same thing as the last. The reason I do not want to go oem is because on my previous g35 my brakes were always pulsating as well even when replaced...

The OEM FX rotors can wear a total of 2mm (both front and back). Proper procedure is to check the rotor run-out while still on the car.
http://www.ebcbrakes.com/automotive/...r_runout.shtml
If runout is inside specification, no change. Outside spec, they can be turned down as often as needed, till they reach the minimum thickness. Then it's time to replace. I had my OEM rotors turned down three times before having to replace them at 65,000 miles.
I now have the Stoptech rear replacement rotors (stock size) and the Stoptech BBK. Both of these can be turned down if needed - both are cross drilled.
