Any votes on which rotors to get? Most of the aftermarket ones I've seen are still cheaper than the OEM rotors from Nissan. Just plain rotors without the slots and holes are what I'm looking for.

My Raybestos Advanced Tech rotors and pads just arrived for front and rear: $250 shipped with Amazon Prime.
Non-slotted, ceramic, I'll let you know after I get them on this weekend.

Please. I have the same ones on my Amazon wish list, along with the Akebono ceramic pads. If it seems like a good combo, I'll order them as well.

Last time I replace the front rotors, I just used Wagner's from the local Federated Auto Parts store. Been over a year and no problems.

Fitment usually isn't a problem with most aftermarket brake rotors. The big issue is the quality of the steel and how they perform after they heat cycle several hundred times. Really cheap rotors then to warp or develope "thickness variation" just months after you've installed them. This why it's always best to stick with an established brand, like Raybestos, Wagner, Brembo, etc.
