Ordered new Stillen rotors (excuse to do brake job)

[vixen_w202]

Yes, Nissan Performance Parts Specialist Stillen makes rotors for our cars. They were on closeout since I guess they don't sell a lot, and I got the fronts for 87 + tax/shipping and the rears for 54 + tax/shipping.

Bottom=front
Top=rear

I felt it seemed silly to mix and match stuff...and brakes I don't wanna throw off balance so I got everything matching vs. doing a premium rotor up front and slotted back.


I didn't break the bank doing this upgrade, and my brakes are due for some upkeep, so I'm going to install these along with my EBC Greenstuff pads.

I didn't know stock size performance rotors and pads could be so reasonably priced, it seemed silly to go stock OEM when I go go with an aftermarket setup like this. The pads were special-order and drop-shipped from EBC, which is here in SoCal...I will get those next week. This upgrade I feel is going to help me if I drive more spirited ever in the future.

I have all 4.....just wanted to let everyone know that. heh.

The "Stillen" rotors....got them today, while cleaning off I see part casting #'s from Brembo of all things! Extremely surprised. On them too were casting numbers of 1999 and 1997, 99 for fronts & 97 for rears. Brembo made them, and they were on closeout. I don't think the shelf life on rotors fades over time, so I'm still ok with my purchase...but weird that a company would keep these in stock for 15-17 years, and not sell them with their own name on the part.

That's a nice little upgrade, especially if paint your calipers a cool color or something.

The only drawback is that they do eat brake pads significantly faster than plain-Jane rotors. I noted this from doing a front brake job on a trade-in S550 4matic w/19k on the clock, and past experiences with Lexus IS-Fs and F-Sport equipped models.
