i belive earlier he recomended not using drilled and sloted if its daily but if you take the pads and rotors and only use them for the event i would go whith power slot's sloted rotors and yellow stuff pads( but i dont have that kind of money so blank rotors and leaving the yellow stuff on all the timehttp://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...cons/icon7.gif)

cre whats your take on this

only sloted and drilled if you take them off whith race pads, if daily driver leave the pads on whith blank rotors?

i mean if thats true...i would buy EBC pads, and my friend works at autozone so discounted blank rotors from them lol

pandrade 04-04-2012 05:56 PM

always good to have that discount lol. on the link i posted earlier i dont think weaver blanks stand up agenst the brembos for the price. common 69 for front and 63 for rear maby weavers are 5 bucks less but i bet they dont have the quality brembo does

from what iv understood for max brake performance go yellow stuff whith sloted rotors but you give up longevity of rotors and pad life as well as being an expensive packadge

For a dd and rare occasion track car I'd just go with Brembo blanks. Even slotted cost you pad life. Granted slotted are typically camfered I still feel they still contribute to quicker wear. The reduction in surface area isn't really worth it if you're running a good low or medium low dust brake (See: EBC Red or Porterfield R4-E kevlar pads) or any high friction, heavily camfered and vented pad (such as EBC Blue).

I would be more inclined to run the front and rears matched. The thing many people don't take into account is that from the factory they're designed to be the same material and the rear pads are SMALLER.

i pieced this brake set up together. im in the middle of installing them now. still waiting on the powder coated rear calipers to come in. the rotors, pads, and new calipers came from brakeperformance.com and the braided stainless steel lines came from drift motion i spent around 500-600$ on this. the pads r their premium semi metallic pads also the rotors r zinc plated.
