Crappy Stock Brakes

Ive warped my brakes twice in 20000. My mechanic told me that the rotors are so thin that tighting the lug nuts too hard could warp the rotors. Does anyone know if I got cross drilled and slotted rotors if that would help. Any Ideas would be appreciated. BTW i still have stock wheels so AEM's big brake kit wont fit.

My buddy just put some corss-drilled Power Stop (I think thats what they are called) rotors w/ EBC Green Stuff pads on his Altima...he has been running them for about 2 months now...great stopping power, looks A LOT cleaner & seems to be holding up real well...I know cause I was in the car when he laid down a 9 ft skid mark from almost hitting a deer...I am planning on going with the same or Neuspeed cross-drilled rotors...

just use a torque-wrench when you tighten your wheels at 80 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Just ask to borrow one at any tire shop
