I need to replace the front brake pads and rotors on my 99 MAX SE(53k
miles). Apparently the rotors have "hot spots" in them and can't be turned.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what will be the best brake-rotor
combination?

Gee my (independent Nissan trained tech) says that I'm close to a front brake
job on my '99 Maxima GLE with just about 60K on it. He says listen for the
squeal soon. I sure hope my rotors can be turned.

Did you ride the brakes or do a lot of city driving? I did plenty of
parking lot and high speed autocross, so I usually have to replace front
pads on my 95 about every 30K miles. But the rotors lasted 90K miles
(without ever being turned) before I replaced them to be on the safe side
when they started to develop tiny surface cracks. I always use Nissan
pads and rotors.

On the other hand, I had to turn the rotors anually on a T-bird I had
before that, because they would warp at sustained speeds (apparently pads
would skip on the rotors making them uneven).
