I read a lot of threads andall suggestedslotted rotors. Powerslot brand because they o not rust. But I have the 95 sentra XE with the 1.6 andall the rotors are for models with 2.0L does this mean i have to go to the AD22Vf before i can purchase slotted rotors. cause i cant find that upgrade for cheap anywhere.
I've seen slotted rotors for the 1.6 they do exist, but for a performance upgrade they are not worth it. You better off saving up for the AD22VF's or Fastbrakes kit.

Yea, iv'e inquired about this as well....even thought about using the se-r brakes... and I've done a ton of research....your better off getting the AD22VF brake upgrade.....
You can get the calipers & TQ members ( lol ) for around 60 bucks each at Kragens ( best place to get rebuilt calipers ). You can even get them pre-loaded with the brake pads, which they only use reybestos. Or you can use whatever you want if you prefer a different pad.
Also, you can get, if you still want slotted and/or drilled rotors, from powerslot rotors....and for the drilled, they quoted me 80 per rotor either drilled or slotted.
So 160 for two(2) rotors, 120ish for both calipers w/out pads, looking right at around $280ish then pads, brake fluid....and thats it.
As a side note...powerslot rotors (www.powerslot.com) will do driller OR slotted rotors for the 1.6L , i asked them, and they replied directly saying yes....itll be 80 per rotor....so about 160 ish + tax + S&H .
the rotors wont really increase stopping. they are designed to disapate heat faster, you are better off with very good brake pads and ss lines.
Very true, I've heard that SS lines will make a pretty noticable difference in breaking especially for consistancy....this is why im getting some soon, hopefully.
in all reality, the calipers are the most important components. they are the item that stops you. Six piston calipers will stop you better than 4 piston and 2 piston. Also having thicker brakes will increase braking. its really not worth upgrading to the ser brakes, but ad22vf brakes have been proven to stop better than stock, but not as nicely as the fast brakes. So it really depends what you want out of it. But for easy stuff, listen to my early post.

So basically for the daily driver upgrading the lines and getting good pads on the stock cailpers and rotors are pretty much sufficient. but if i wanted to upgrade to the ad22vf where is the best place to make that purchase.
I can't remember who posted it, but over on SR20forums a couple months back they brought up a discussion about the AD22vf brakes. It stated that due to weight and such it creates brake bias and can also potentially slightly lengthen your braking distance. However you won't experience brake fade.
Personally, I upgraded my SE-R to slotted rotors. I don't experience brake fade anymore and they're consistant. I haven't even upgraded to a better pad yet, I have some autozone $20 semi-metallics. So I know the car can do even better once I upgrade. I also didn't add any weight, I actually believe they might possibly be lighter then stock.
I never said to actually 'upgrade' to the se-r brakes.....I looked into it as an alternative....
And I already mentioned the best place to get the AD22VF calipers...which is at autozone, unless you can find some in good condition at a junkyard to pull or off any of the forums. For the rotors....if your set on slotted or drilled powerslot would be the place to go....if you want regular blanks....I think they sell them also, or again, junkyard or possibly even kragens, not sure.
Pads...anywhere you want that sells them.....and same for brake fluid....
P.S. if you do buy from kragens....make sure its of the NX2000, cause when i went to get mine, they almost sold me the NX1600......but when you pick them up to make sure, AD22VF will be stamped right on there.

If you have time would you be able to get that link. Cuz all the statistical data that Mike young and others have posted all show that the ad22vf brakes will stop you 20 feet shorter than the se-r brakes.

Yeah, if I find it I'll be sure to post it up for you guys. Its pretty long and rather complex and has quite a bit of information in it. Might take me a while to find it.
