Posted this earlier in the XOC... Make do with it what you will:
I know the usefulness of this mod has been a hotly debated issue given the X's brakes are already quite good... but, just to let you know, there is now an aftermarket provider. It's getting to be about that time, so am going to try this set out... Hell, it's cheaper than OEM too!
Powerstop and Axxis MetalMaster are now producing a set of replacement high performance combination cross-drilled/slotted rotors and semi-mettalic brake pads for the Xterra. My rotors probably don't need to be replaced, but what the hell.
Here's the scoop:
Powerstop Cross-Drilled/Slotted Rotor Part Number:
JBR756XL (Left)
JBR756XR (Right)
$99.00 Each
Autospecialty 911 Extreme Performance Pads Part Number:
248301
$40.18 for the front set.
They have metallics for the rears too, but I don't quite need them yet. Not sure on part numbers. Whole front end replacement upgrade, under $250 with shipping.
I got them at
Olympic Import Performance Parts, based out of Alexandria VA. Super cool on the phone and cheap too. Shipping rates are excellent too.
