Ok, I've been scouring the internet for some cross-drilled rotors. I don't want to do a full big brake kit since they're ridiculously expensive. I've decided for now I'm going to paint my calipers and replace the rotors with something larger. Does anything 2009 fit the 2010? Could someone provide me a few links to some suggested rotors? Thanks! :bigthumb:

Uh, you can't just replace your rotors with something larger and use the same calipers. Larger rotors normally means big brake kit with new calipers. They do make drilled and slotted rotors that fit but they will be the same size as stock.

Duh, you're right ... I really didn't think that through. Still though, I'd like to get some cross-drilled and slotted rotors to replace the stock ones, that I can just use the stock calipers with. Any suggestions? I don't want to get some POS rotors, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg either. Links are appreciated!

A lot of people here use stillen sport rotors, (http://www.stillen.com/) I have heard good things about them. You can try the search function on here, I believe rotora makes a real quality set also. Ebay rotors are hit and miss. I run trinet brake rotors on my super duty truck with no issues. They have numerous designs and different zinc plating colors, black, silver and gold.
(http://www.trinetmotorsports.com/) I believe they make rotors for the altima. They were pretty inexpensive.

I've used the search function, but haven't found anything that confirms whether or not the 2009 rotors (as listed on stillen's site) will fit the 2010 model. I assume it's essentially the same car, I just don't want to purchase something that isn't going to fit and waste my time :confused:

That site yielded nothing when I select the 2010 model, which brings me back to my original question ... are the brake parts (i.e. rotors, calipers) for the 2009 model, the same for 2010?

I like the way those rotors look on trinetmotorsports, but the site sucks kinda bad ... most everything you click on says "Coming Soon"
