Thinking about these OEM replacements... what do you guys think

[rjdmmfl1]

Yep, this may actually be the first "what do you guys think" poll I've created... feel free to support, blast, ridicule, etc these rotors.

I'm thinking about replacing my factory OEM rotors with these... I would love the Stillen ones, but I can't stand that fugly gold colored zinc coating that they use...anyway, here they are

[dldjros69]

hmmm how much.

i like them.

I like them better than the funky stillen color.

[rjdmmfl1]

Front and Rear = $255 w/ local pickup... $300 shipped

hmmm how much.

i like them.

I like them better than the funky stillen color.

[marlin29311]

lol, there is no poll!!!!

I like them though - I agree with you, the weird brassy colored rotors from stillen are annoying...i wish they were the normal silvery color.

Where are you getting these from? I remember hearing that Rotora had made some new rotors...am i looking at this picture right (correct me if I am wrong) the one on the left is the front and the one on the right is the back? If so, how can you get a vented disc in on the rear if you don't change the way the caliper is set up?

Either way, I approve

[Altima_Coupe]

you have my approval.. looks better than the stillen gold..although i think you may be able to find replacement oem for cheaper..

[BlackNWhite]

Will these give you greater stopping power or is it purely for looks?

[ursus]

I thought Stillen's "gold" color is only a surface plating coat that will fade w/ time? correct me if im wrong.

But yea these rotors are nice regardless.

[rjdmmfl1]

Will these give you greater stopping power or is it purely for looks?

combination of slotted/drilled rotors with or without stainless steel brakelines wil give you improved stopping power over OEM setup (even more WITH the stainless steel brakelines!

you have my approval.. looks better than the stillen gold..although i think you may be able to find replacement oem for cheaper..

yes, but cheaper is not always better... also, for both front and rear OEm replacements, $300 shipped is not a bad price at all... even stillen's cost more!

I dig em! This is something the guys who cant afford the BBK's but still wanna get in the mix, when i need to toss the stock rotors.. these will be going on!

BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA @ YOU

I like the nice gold color, what you got against it? plus its only a coating that goes away like the rust on the rotors goes away after using the brakes.

[Hussain]

i hate gold! gold rims, gold rotors, even gold jewelry! lol but ya i think josh or kyle said the gold surface will come off. but thats not bad $300 for all 4..... i'm definitely going to get those when my brakes start messing up lol i got free brakes from the dealership but they said my rotors were getting warped from the heat..... it gets hot here in sacramento plus slowing down from those 100+ MPH races

[Alien_Tracker]

The rotors shown are dimpled, not cross drilled. That could account for the lower cost.

GOOD CATCH! i missed that!

[ESP]

I dig the black zinc rotors they've got on their page.

So you actually got these? Let us know how they feel!

[rjdmmfl1]

Gold on whels/rims/rotors looks ridiculous IMO... doesn;t match 99% of the color schemes

also, I've seen these gold colored rotors after use... only the area where the brake touches the rotor changes color... the rest remains the gold color.. now you've got two tone rotors

No, the rotors in the auction for $255 are drilled and slotted, not dimpled... the picture I posted was just for visual cues on what they will look like... here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...38119

am i looking at this picture right (correct me if I am wrong) the one on the left is the front and the one on the right is the back? If so, how can you get a vented disc in on the rear if you don't change the way the caliper is set up?

you get a vented disc in the rear by making it alot smaller than the one in the front.

Our rear rotors are the same as they've been on Altimas since 2002 : 11.5" by .35" ... the front rotors are 11.7" by 1.02" ... that's why the front rotors on the pic look so much thicker than the rears.

Do you know how much the aftermarket rotors weigh compared to stock? Whats the material made of - I'm guessing the stocks are steel??

The relative weight of the rotor can either increase or decrease unsprung weight on your car. A larger diameter rotor can also increase weight just like heavier rims.

[Alien_Tracker]

I went to their website and submitted a quote for silver slotted and cross drilled. They sent me back an email saying $220 shipped for all 4 rotors.

[dldjros69]

I check out the site and the more i read the more i want to go with stillen. I know i am getting a great product from stillen. The ebay site just blabs about the quality vs others. Stillen doesnt have to play that game.

If the stillen gold wears off, im getting them.

these areoem specs regarding size, not sure about weight

I'm not defending their "mine is better than theirs" way of advertising, but on ebay, there are a lot of items that "look" the same, and I think they were trying to state why theirs is superior... they just went about it in an over the top fashion

regarding rotor wear, in the best case scenario, this is what it will look like



now, where you see rust, with the stillen rotors it will be gold, along the sides where the rotor mounts, and along the rotor itself closest to the mounting hub... now, this may be fins for most folks, but if you have spoke wheels where you see a good portion of the rotors, this, IMO, doesn;t look good close up... again, just my opinion..

also, yes I agree, if Stillen made OEm replacements with the black mounting surfacee and silver zinc plated rotors instead of gold.. I'd get em also!

[LongBeachCoupe]

WOW how did i miss that ebay listing!If the parts are quality... Im in like flint!

[Hussain]

Gold on whels/rims/rotors looks ridiculous IMO...

[One Crazy Max]

let me know the measurements of the thickness, and diameter of the rotors when you get them, and let me know how the brakes feel after you have installed them, thanks!

[One Crazy Max]

any updates on this as of yet? if not, i might have to go out and get something done, because i have 26k miles on the stock brakes and the pads are almost done, and the front rotors are warped too...you guys will get excited when i show you what im doing!!

[milkacaduke]

at least it's gonna get rid of that annoying stock squeeking soundright?

[Infantry1327]

I am defenely down for this.

[adidas2go]

Your down for anything Sean lol

[Infantry1327]

what can I say, I want it all.

Thats why I have had my car for 4 months and I have allready spent close to 4 g's in upgrades. lolI havent even hit 8000 miles yet. hahaha

I really want the brembo kit, but will not spend that much on brakes. With these new rotors and painting my calipers, my wheels will look 110 times better.

This site will be the death of me Its allready killing my bank account.

P.S. Ordered my led's today, sound dampener and hood dampers are on the way.

[dangeris]

Yeah Sean but you can't take the $$ with us when we die so might as well enjoy spending it on something we love...like our AC's

Robert, the brakes looks good and yes the gold finish is kinda annoying bot hopefully like Kyle said on my BBK post, it's just a protective finish they apply so hopefully it'll come off as soon as I apply the brakes but I guess we'll see

[Infantry1327]

O believe me, I spend it just as fast as I get it. But my system is my next big purchase then exhaust....etc
