As easy as it is to replace rotors, and caliper/pads, one can save a
bundle of money. OEM Brembo rotors for the 2000 Maxima are $53 each,
and excellent products. Just a thought . . .

Yeah, that is true, but I would rather drive a car that does not need
that to be done. My '94 Integra has 145K miles and is still on original
rotors. My '00 Max has 48K miles and is already on second set of rotors
which have been turned once already and from the sound of brakes, are
glazed yet again and ready to be turned a second time. That is just too
much maintenance for me to deal with. I am planning to replace my Max
with an Acura TSX or Accord.

The Integra must use rather soft pad material to minimize wear on the
rotors. Not having to replace rotors in 145K is very, very unusual in
any vehicle. You should consider yourself very lucky indeed with the
Integra. Brake maintenance and costs are quite minimal, as compared to
potential engine mechanical problems. Brakes, and all associated
parts, are deemed "wear and tear" items. A hundred bucks, or maybe
two, is much less than the cost of a TSX or an Accord!
