Donno how close of a fit the g35 brakes are compared to the a/c....i seen somewhere where someone took the bbk from the g37 coupe and put them on a altima sedan. So i'm thinking that since their so close in fitment you might be able to "borrow" from the g35/g37. To that end...

Yeah I wanna know too! 4K for front and rear AP brakes are a bit too much for me.

I saw that post as well and got me thinking. There's a big brake kit on ebay right now includes 4 rotors and calipers. Looks like the BBKs.

I'm so tempted to bid on it but not sure of the fitment.

crack the wallet open and break out your bar mitzvah money lol... those will fit, im 99% sure of it.. i saw someone on another forum with them on our ride... its pricey... im sure you can get rotors for much cheaper that are drilled/slotted, but this is a whole new ballgame...

id check locally for a scrapped g37 or 35

they work on the altima , it's been tested

only thing is, you can't use them on 17inch wheels. the guy had 19inch wheels and they also recommend 19".

there is not much benefit to slotted/drilled rotors in most daily driving. Technically yes, there is the benefit of gas escaping much quicker, but in reality, you have to be doing alot of hard braking all the time. Also, drilled/slotted rotors are more prone to warping and eats pads like a *****.

Honestly, i suggest you look at cryo rotors if you want something woth your money. They freeze the rotor in liquid nitrogen at like 600 below freezing i think it is, and it changes the atomic structure of the rotor. In doing so, it creates a super hardened rotor which can last up to 3 times as long as a regular rotor. Cryo rotors can be around 70-120 a pop, but are well worth it in the long run IMO. I havent bought them yet, but i promised myself that i would as an upgrade to my next newest car.

If you want to go for a style or look, then slotted/drilled is for you. Also, you want to try and keep everything uniform on your car. u want new rotors, change all 4, not just two. When you do **** like that,, you start ****ing with the mechanics of the car. You may be fortunate and luck aout and not have any issues, but i have ****ed and d!ck around with my carr enough to know that a stock and well balanced use is sometimes best. This is just my couple cents, use it as you wish and i hope it helped

it's a whole lot cheaper to send your stocks to a cryo facility to do them, no need to buy another set of rotors, if you're willing to put driving on hold for a couple days.
