I did EBC slotted rotors with yellow stuff brake pads on all 4 corners. At first they didn't brake-in correctly but after they were adjusted now there great! I think anything is better the OEM... at least 2004-2008 OEM before Nissan went bigger!

Does anyone know how the aftermarket brakes compare with Nissan's Big Brake package? Cost?
I've never been happy with the performance of my brakes, but too cheap to replace them too soon. Now that my pads are starting to show wear, I see new brakes in my future.
Does the Big Brake package require wheels larger than stock 18" alloys on my '05?

I think you'll be okay it's us with the lowly XE and 17" wheels that are out of luck.

On the MT site, I found this excellent write-up with many photos showing the upgrade process and parts listing. Great help and I'm sure I'll refer to it often when I replace my brakes:

08+ Big brake upgrade - How to - MightyTitans.com
