Hey EverybodyI just gt off the phone with Stillen & I am trying to work a group buy on the front & rear crossed drilled rotors for a couple of customers I have. These are Brembo blanks that are crossed drilled by Stillen (their secondary vendor is Power Stop). These are the prices if I can get 5 or more purchasers on each axle:

Front: $175.00 (for the set - $195.00 reg. price)Rear: $157.94 (for the set - $180.00 reg. price)

Ground shipping will be $10.00 per setLet me know if any of you are interested!Thanks again for everyone's support!-Joe1.888.216.5328

Joe,

As you know I'm in for both fronts and rears. Now we need four more people and I'll have "Q2" up and running in no time!!!

For everyone else's info - the best price I can find for PowerStops is $100.02 each from http://www.autopartsgiant.com - http://www.stillen.com shows a price of $223.74 for fronts and $202.37 for the rears. Joe has come through again with a really great deal!!!

I think this buy is designed for 90-96 Q owners, but these rotors cross over to other Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. For instance I think the J30 shares the same front rotors, and the 02+ Altima may use the same rears. Can you tell I want to get to five orders quickly?

hey, watch out for stillen, as Mad Sentra's post in the general board linked to:

http://www.b15sentra.net/forum...62712

sounds like you could end up not liking Stillen.

I30T - thanks for the head's up... I think they have a pretty good reputation for their rotors and brake kits. Also, Joe seems to have a good working relationship with Stillen, so I think we'll be OK on this.

I read that thread, don't worry about Stillen & their customer service, you will be dealing with me, not them. BTW these rotors aren't produced by Stillen, they just drill them.

Check it out! Joe went ahead and ordered these for us and will have them in stock at the "group buy" price! I have some on the way so I'll let everyone know how they work out...

Thanks Joe!

They'll work... same physical size as the OEM rotor, just cross-drilled for (typically) less warping.

But even with holes they weigh the same as oem rotors and typically 1-1.5-even 2 pounds more than cheapo aftermarket rotors so the metal is very dense ...........good!

He had one set of the G50 front rotors left two days ago. He will restock them.

He had 3 or 4 sets of the rear rotors in stock.

Hmmm ... since Stillen does not actually make them (just drill them from what I understand), do you happen to know who is the original manufacturer?

My fronts are definately Bradi (stamped on the outer rim of the rotor). The rears don't say, but the markings look identical to the old power-stops I took off of "Q1"

I don't have any feedback as far as driving, since I haven't finished re-assembling the car yet. At this point all I can say is that they look like they're very good quality, and I had no problems indexing them down to .002" or less on each wheel.

I think I'd rather deal with Joe if a problem crops up, but on a budget those might not be bad...

I've been told that Brembo and Bradi blanks are hard to find right now, so be on the lookout for substitutions.

I think that's about what I got... seems like my bathroom scale (digital) said 16.8, but I didn't have new factory rotors for the comparison.

Thanks!
