wow you're sold on those cross drilled rotors. lol

Anyways not too sure where else you can pick them up. I am gonna order mines online. The slotted ones. They give a little more bite than the cross drilled, the cross drilled rotors sometimes have the tendency to crack at the holes also. If you order online it comes with the hawk brake pads, SS brake lines and the rotors themselves. I might just do the brakes myself if I have time... But if not Im gonna take it to the shop next to where I work.

Which brake sets are you guys talking about and where can I order it? Just want something that lasts longer than the OEM pads, more stopping power + less brake dust are plus.

damn right im sold i've seen a big difference on my braking and for 250 a set who can complain, but tony to help with the brake dust if u've got the brembo's get the hawk pads they help reduce the amount of brake dust immensly, but to get the cross drilled rotors infinti has them in stock still for 250 a set

I think that the crossdrilled brembos are made of the same metal as OEM. The stop tech slotted rotors are made of a higher tensile strength. the OEM type rotors are made softer to increase bite. thus they wear faster. I dont know if you noticed but there is a lip on the edge of your rotors. Brand new they dont have that lip, due to high pressure from the calipers it compresses the metal where it makes contact, and forces the metal to the lip. there is a vendor on here that is selling the slotted rotors for 629 with hawk pads and SS brake lines. shipping is $49 which he quoted me. I mean you can go all out and get 2 piece floating rotors slotted and cross drilled... but that would run you about 2G's. lol

I don't have Brembos on my coupe, will the cross drilled rotors work on non-Brembos? Stop tech is too pricey for me, just looking for something that lasts longer or as long as the OEM brakes, and without paying $500 Infiniti.

Ohh.... ummm look at the vendors. Or just call up some shops. See how much they charge. But buying crossdrilled or slotted rotors is definitely an upgrade, so it will cost more. You might be able to find a shop that will be cheaper in the labor and maybe a little cheaper for the rotors and pads. Is 500 for changin all 4?

i am definitely in the market for new brakes.
i was messing around with them today and i snapped the stock brake line, so i was thinking i might as well just get new brakes entirely.

so slotted brakes are the way to go?

Go with Powerslot rotors, Hawk HPS pads and Goodridge brakelines.

This is a pretty killer deal.
