It needs brakes. I dont want to spend an arm and a leg but i need pads and rotors. Shakes a bit under heavy and/or high speed braking. I was looking around ebay and found this

Not sure if its junk or not. I don't necessarily need any kind of upgrade just good brakes that will be durable and quiet hopefully. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I tried to put some Autozone pads on the rear but they didnt fit right.EOM worked fine.

$180 for a set of cross-drilled rotors and ceramic pads is a bargain. But the question is - will it work (stop your car when you need it most) and for how long?

A complete set of OEM rotors and pads from Joe of IoS, http://www.infinitipartsusa.com. (one of our sponsors) will cost you $400+. Breakdown as follows-Front pads, $61.33 (set)-Rear pads, $58.66 (set)-Front rotors, $82.11 (each)-Rear rotor, $69.89 (each)

But why replace all the rotors and pads. Most of the rotor warpage are on the front which maybe corrected by turning (< $20 per rotor). Have the rotors turned and buy new pads. Just make sure you torque the lug nuts to 80 ft-lbs (spec 72-87 ft-lbs). Over-torquing may warp the rotors. You might as well clean the lug nuts and hub bolts with steel brush to prevent stripping.

Brake Spec:-Front rotor: 22 mm new/20 mm minimum-Rear rotor: 9 mm new/8 mm minimum-Front pads: 11 mm/2 mm minimum-Rear pads: 10 mm new/2mm minimum

I've always used pads and rotors from Auto Zone, and they work great. Duralast organic pads for my Maxima and Murano run about $50 for all four wheels, and have a lifetime warranty.
