88pathoffroad Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Well...dunno about drilling a set of stock rotors. You could try it and see. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revgolem Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Honestly that really wouldn't be a good idea. The rotors you have now are designed to work as is, and you would be severly weakining then and they would be more prone to warping. You will also reduce the amount of material making contact and reduce the friction. The material and the surface of the pre-drilled rotors are designed with that in mind. And if you do go and get the pre-drilled rotors definatly get the pads they recommend as well, it's all about getting just the right amount of friction.

JeepRescueService14 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Drilled rotors crack.. thats it.. theyre made of cast iron and dont like that abuse especially with the brake pad passing over them over and over.. btw.. you want a 4x or an indy car.. as far as "bling"? how bout a lift kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87mudfinder Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 So thus stock rotors suck being that they (Nissan) makes an aftermarket available that is higher end? If so please point me a link please. :allclean: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
