...and the entire 4-wheel kit can be had for around $200, including rotors and pad (but not e-brake shoes).

My question is, does this sound reasonable for these items?

The rotors are advertised as slotted and drilled with holes chamfered. also, the pads are ceramic.

I also found a set of front calipers for <$100.

I didn't post the names in case it is against forum policy but can of it's OK. I am just worried about buying junk.

Thanks.

The J is heavy car, the weight applied with brake force easily warps rotors. My advice(gleaned form being on this forums for many years) is to go with Nissan OEM, Napa premium or high end like Brembo or Powerstop. The same for the pads. The best stuff is ceramic or semi ceramic, get Napa premiums, EBC, Hawk, Akebono or Brembo's.

Hi driverdriver,

Thanks.Yes, I think the J is pushing 3900lbs. OK, I will give Napa a call and price some stuff.
