Most wouldn't live to tell about it. or better yet, 80mph and they shatter... no breaking capabilities what-so-ever. Ask anyone, there IS indeed metal that cheap, that it breaks and bends like that, Especialy under heat and pressure. Now ask yourself HOW does somthing that cost anywhere from $250-500(pair), get sold for $68(pair)? Give me an answer and you wont want them anymore. This is your life we're talking about. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! Damn D-Man - most impressive.

not going to link, but pretty much every thread that results from someone wanting these ends with this:
back in the day, performance brake pads were made from a material that broke down under high temps, it then emitted gases, which messed with the rotors. so they drilled them to allow the gases to escape. now, brake pads dont do that, the whole theory that most people give to having drilled rotors is for cooling... but vented rotors with veins, the veins do 99% of the cooling. heat and air etc is going to follow the path of least resistance, ie travel through a pipe that is heat wrapped to colder air to disapate, of try and bleed through the insulated pipe... same with the rotor, is air going to flow with the rest of the air in the vein, or is it going to make 90° bends and be all turbulant. i think you should just find a set of slotted & vented rotors, put them on the correct direction and call it a day. will save you a couple hundred because you can get quality slotted rotors at a fair price compared to both drilled and slotted. if you complain about paying an extra $200 for brake parts... imagine what that difference will do when you need to stop and something breaks. most people just get brembo blanks, good brake pads, and steel braided brake lines. thats enough for a swapped car going 120mph, and will only run you $400 for the whole setup -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

And have no suspension work whatsoever. This is the reason i purchased them. I lost my last (EXPENSIVE) car due to breaking issues, and i wont settle for anything but the best from now on.

Well, no matter what, i got some stock rotors for sale. They need a lil WD40 and a brush up, then they'll sparkle like new. They're only about a year old or less. Most of that time they were parked. The action point is smooth as glass, smooth like a baby's butt... I have a new born, but i dont change diapers, (that's what my gal is for ![]() I dont think those rotors have even seen one break pad change. That clean. If you want to buy those i can sell em to you for cheaper. As for the buy us houston guys have going on, then you got till you come down to get some money saved up. Otherwise, i could sell you the OEM spec ones for cheaper and ship em to ya. It's all about what you wanna do. Drilled is the holes, slotted is the groved lines. Some have one, some have the other, some have both. I have both. ![]() ![]() -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

actualy, thanks to griff girl, i may be able to get em for cheaper.
I'm not sure what brand they are, but they seem to be the exact same ones that i have on Breakplanet. I'm going to call and see if i can get us under the $200 range because they have a pretty good deal going already... I was getting from here: http://www.autoall.com/toyota-celica-rotors.htm But after looking at theese: http://stores.brakeplanet.com/Items/nl0172...%20Brake%20Pads thats a full set for 230+ shipping, i bet i could get em down to 150-170 depending on shipping and all. And how many we ordered... -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! Damn D-Man - most impressive.
