Thanks for replying and sharing your info with me, I actually got it done, the shop got me brembo replacement rotors with infiniti break pads, now my breaks dont squeek anymore, i paid about $350 for everything, and the shop showed me my old rotors and yeah they were pretty much gone, so i guess i am lucky to go through my original rotors for 40K, cause some of you guys had it replaced much earlier then that. Thanks again all for replying....

I did all the work with my brother. The dealer quoted me 500+ to replace the front rotors and pads. Found all the parts online, actual OEM parts, i stayed with genuine nissan parts, rotors were $79 a piece and $44 for the brake pads. about an hour of work and all done.

So i end it up calling two dealers and spoke to the service advisors regarding the rotors and they both confirm that this is a known issues and complaints from 03 and 04 owners. Just wondering how many of you guys out there has gone through this?

Count your blessings. Mine were replace thousands of miles ago, and I only have 21K on my 04 Sedan now

The Sport package on the sedan has the same brakes as the non-sport. It's the coupe Brembo package that cost $500 per rotor....insane.

what are the brake options for the 05-06 sedans? aren't the brakes different on the newer sedans? different calipers and larger rotors, IIRC.

my car shakes pretty significantly when I have to brake, especially at highway speeds.
