Hey guys, Im going to change my brakes and rotors... I plan on using the Toyota pads on front and back.... and I want some slotted or slotted and drilled rotors... Im not blowing 5g's on the FSport brake kit..... SO.... what else are you guys using... lets be honest Im not drag racing so it is all about appearance, but I want 0 squeek, and I dont want warped rotors in 2 weeks.

Any advice is welcome, except bad! Thanks

I used powerslots. They have performed very well, no complaints. I have no idea about the quality of ebay rotors. And I didn't want to have any worries about the quality of my brakes since they are kinda important. But for all I know the quality is equal and I paid too much.

I have slotted/drilled off ebay. Only issues I has was they stated as zinc plated but mine rusted so I took black spray paint and now there perfect. Theres not gonna be any real difference between ebays and name brands when it comes to rotors.

Power Slot slotted front rotors here. Love them!

Remember, you're stopping ability is only as good as your rotors/pads/tires/suspension are as they work together. So if you'd spend the $3k on a nice BBK, doesn't mean you'll automatically stop faster.

I think eBay will be a hit or miss with rotors because there are too many no name rotor companies making them. Some may be poorer quality than others so you don't really know what you will be getting. I had eBay cross/drilled rotors on my previous car, they warped all the time. Even when I resurface them they would warp after a couple of weeks, and this is normal city driving. My friend who has eBay cross/drilled rotors on his car said they were good, no warping at all. It's kind of a gamble with eBay rotors..

mask off the pad contact surface area and paint the hat portion and top of the rotors black so they don't rust.

^ What do you guys recommend painting with? Any specific recommendations?

Probably something very high temp rated...like brake caliper paint. When I got my Power Slot rotors they had the black coating already and I thought all was well. But little did I know that the black faded very quickly. Wishing now I had taken the time to mask them both off to hit them with some good paint before the install.

Click on "(low dust) front brake pads"

Install those.

problem solved.

Those are the ones anyone under warranty who complains about brake dust gets for free.

I used Rustoleum BBQ spray paint. I think it works to like 850 degrees and its like a matte black color. Looks great and its not coming off and with holds the heat and punishment.
