Brake Rotor Opinion
If someone steals this auction from me...
There will be some serious brake damage to pay....
But in all honesty I wanted to get everyones opinion on these rotors I found on ebay.....
Look there cheaper then anything else around me (cheapest I could find is $107 each....I am starting to think I live in Millionare estates witht he prices for parts near me....)
SO anyway here is the link:
The set of rotors is $78, then additional $55 for the pads if I wanted to get those and then roughly $29 for shipping and handling to come to a grand total of $162.....
I don't think thats bad, and there slotted and drilled, and i alway here good things about rotors like that (the ones I have know are obviously not cutting it for the kind of braking I apprently do....)
I have the funds to get the brakes but I need opinions ASAP....
I want to do the work myself obviously so.....
Any imput would be great....
Thanks

Slotted and drilled dont do a damn thing, infact vented blanks are still the best. Why else do you think nascar drivers use blanks?
Brembo and ac delco are also the only brands of rotors I will ever buy besides genuine yota.

Don't waste your money. Those ebay rotors are garbage.
Read this stuff first and then make a decision...

Actually I was always really happy with yota oem brakes on my camry (I havent owned my t100 long enough to see). They are super thick.
However since I need new rotors and brakes I decided to go with brembo blanks and hawk LTS suv/truck pads from tirerack. Everyone is raving about the pads over on tirerack, checkout the reviews: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...uck/SUV%20Pads

I have desided to jsut go with blank Brembo Rotors
Cheapest I could find are $53 for a set ($106 with shipping charges)
People seem to be alright with the blanks,
I would like to see the diffrence in slotted (I like to tyr before I get myself)
Might get stepdad to get them the next time he gets his brakes done...
As for pads,
I will Do reasearch tomorrow..
As for I have work in 5 hours so I need to get some sleep....
Please everyone keep voicing your opinions!!!
Thank you so much for your help!!!
You have no idea how much this is brighting my dark spirits....
