Anyone know where I can get new rotors and pads that are the same size as the 180sx brake upgrade. I remember hearing something like maxima rotors and altima pads but im not too sure. Thanks ---

180/silvia brakes use 89-94 maxima pads and 25mm altima rotors on the front ---

i just picked up some 93-2000 altima rotors for my 180 fronts! they work nicely, same size and bolt pattern. i actually did research for a change ---

nothing more than stock, its only an inch and a half bigger rotor and the pads wont cost any more than stock ones either. my cost was minimal as it was through my work, but an average cost if u went with a cross drilled plated rotor is roughly $130 each corner, and probably like $70 for pads for the entire front. ---

Don’t waste your time with drilled rotors, just get a nice quality blank, and good pads. ---

K, so i got replacement rotors for an altima from partsource and the pieces of shit didnt fit. What the hell is wrong? Im thinking maybe just crapily made rotors that were machined wrong or something. Anyone have any ideas?
