I think for my 95 they are about $40 each

Does anybody know how much OEM is at Nissan?

I think it boils down to what kind of metal is in them

it is the same price for my 01maxima too i asked the dealer and they said $80 but then the dealership jacks the price on everything, my dad said that foreign auto's stuff are better than anyones, and he get 20% any place, but any ways i just want to know how the autozone ones are coz they the cheapest i can find(other than ebay)

CustomMaxima.com has Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors.. about $180 for the front two and about the same for the rear.. I will be getting these after the winter season, as I had my rotors resurfaced and haven't seen an improvement..

agreed, but if there is no difference in quality, then it's wasting money that could go to other mods FTL!

I have used other Duralast products in the past with no problems, but don't know about the rotors. I think it depends on how you are going to use your car. Is it a DD or are you going to track it. If it's a DD, I don't think you need cross drilled/slotted rotors.

Inexpensive and good way to go is brembo blanks (unslotted undrilled). Tire Rack has them for a little over $50 each and I'd actually trust them.

That does sound like a deal! Will remember that for when I need some.

Agreed on the Brembo's, but the duralast are just about as well.

I would like to go duralast. The brembo's are the best but I think it doesn't need to you.

for the same price, maybe a few bucks more.....you could get crossdrilled on ebay. They are just cheap autozone disks that have been run through a cnc machine and drilled out for performance.

I ran a set for two years with very aggressive aftermarket pads and they held up well....no cracks or warping!
