AEM no longer makes rotors for the Celica. They sold there rotor department to Power Slot. I sell brakes for a living, you want to buy Brembo or Power Slot with either Hawk or Axxis pads.

i need new rotors, mainly in the front, but i figure i might as well get all 4 and new break pads as well
im not looking to spend too much (but i think i might have too) and suggestion on which exactly i should get, slotted, drilled, or cryo slotted?
also are the standard axxis break pads good, or should i go top of the line?

Yes they are Powerslot/AEM rotor upgrade. For both the front and rear it will cost about $1100 with using the same caliper and same deal as before with AEM.

Rotora or Stoptech is your best best for a true upgrade with a caliper.

Endless if you have the money, Project Mu will make it for you even better for more, Alcon is the way.

If i'm not mistaken, but a guy from Italy has some crazy brake upgrades that won't involve larger wheels (when you see it you will know) and a guy from here has an upgrade from parts off of another Toyota from China.
