Overview
The Baer Brakes Claw performance front rotor set, part number 31465-020, is a pair of cross-drilled and slotted vented rotors for the 2006–2007 Nissan Armada and 2006–2007 Infiniti QX56. They are direct replacement rotors meant for owners who want a more consistent pedal feel and less brake fade than factory discs. The slots and drilled holes let gases and dust escape from between the pad and rotor during braking.
Each rotor has a zinc-plated finish that gives a bright look behind open-center wheels. The design pairs an enhanced vane structure with premium materials for cooling and durability, and the rotors are premium, mill balanced direct replacements.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled friction surface lets gases and dust escape from between the pad and rotor
- Enhanced vane structure built from premium materials for cooling and durability
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes intended to minimize stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish for a bright appearance in open-center wheels
- Premium, mill balanced, direct replacement rotor design
- Directional brake surface
Choosing the right setup
Rotors on a matched axle should be replaced as a pair so braking stays even from side to side. A new rotor on one side paired with a worn rotor on the other can pull under braking. Caliper type matters as well, so inspect the existing calipers and pad clearance before the new rotors go on.
Vented rotors have internal vanes that carry heat away, which helps when braking repeatedly from speed or towing. Cross-drilled and slotted faces help shed gas and dust, but the holes add stress points, so check the rotor surface for cracks at every brake service. Choose pads that match the rotor surface and your typical loads to avoid premature wear.
- Replace both front rotors together
- Confirm caliper and pad compatibility before installation
- Inspect the hat and mounting surface for rust
- Bed in new pads with moderate stops

Installation notes
The kit is supplied as a pair, so replace both front rotors together to keep braking even from side to side. Because the Armada note calls for Akebono front calipers, confirm the caliper on your vehicle matches before installing. Brake work should be done by a qualified technician.
