I'd stick with stock.

Both types of those rotors will wear your pads faster.

if you road race your car a lot i mean it might be a benefit to get slotted rotos, rotora make some nice ones. but i mean ive frequented CMP about twice so far and im working on my race license.

im either going to run stock brake (the celica stops really well already) and make ducts that will coem from my fog light opening right onto ny brakes or run power slots up front im undecided.

best thing you can do to im prove braking is run nice pads that will hold up to the heat and make ducts if your gonna run them hard.

i burned threw a brand new pair of green stuff in about 7 laps at cmp and my rotors were red hot.

what do you want your rotors for?

^^^^^ what he said if your just driving daily run stock replacements that are nickel treated so they wont rust. cross drilled or slotted will burn through pads.

you can paint the hat and sides so they won't rust.

ROTORA slotted rotors front and rear + TRD USDM brake pads front & rear = :thumbup:

downside: brake pad wear does seem to be increased over OEM and sometimes i get an occasional squeak at braking low speeds...nothing you cant live with

upside: awesome braking power and i do autoX once a month now so this helps alot!

add some STOPTECH brake lines to that combination along with some new brake fluid and your in good if you do not want to spend the money on a big brake kit! just my .02

i thought they used zinc to prevent rusting, no?

Are these any good or should I stay away from Ebay? i really need some new rotors, mine are rusted up and look nasty. I like the cross-drilled rotors so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
