Is there any kits out yet that are not the big brake kit. I'm looking for drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads. Do the kits on ebay work for our cars? They are mostly for the 02-06 Altimas. Would they still work?

you can use the ones for the z or g if you have big wheels, so you can broaden your seaRch a little (well a lot)

The G37's Akebono 4-Pison big brake kit fits our coupe if one gets 19 inch wheels ( http://www.g37-tech.com/wiki/Brake_System_Design ) and they sell kits on ebay for half the price of the AP brakes from stillen.

I havent seen anything for the 08's but im sure the 07 rotors will work on our. Stillen only has the rear slotted/drilled rotors for the 08's. Im looking at getting Rotora slotted rotors and Axxis pads.

It's not only the diameter of the wheel that determine if it would fit or not. If it works with 19's, it'll work with 20's. What you would need to start looking at would be the back spacing on the wheel. If there is not enough back spacing, the spokes may hit the calipers and cause all sorts of trouble. If your wheel does not have enough backspacing, a spacer could do the trick. For instance, on my brothers Lexus, the wheels come super close the caliper, but they fit with less than a centimeter of clearance. (Click the pic for full size if you can''t tell how close the spokes are to the caliper in that resolution.)

That does not help either you need to check the clearance between the back of the spoke to the caliper.

LOL, yeah, it is a pain in the butt to keep clean. I had to help my brother clean the car before the photo shoot... and yeah, it took a few hours.

Makes me wish it was my car. Funny enough, that is pretty much the only picture my brother liked from the entire photo shoot, lol.How about some slotted or cross drilled rotors and brake pads for the new altimas, racingline?
