Topic #1901 80 posts Started by 1bwilson
looks like im going to pass too, i changed my brakepads the other day and all the braking problems stopped and my rotors are lookin pretty good. thanks anyways!!

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
Count me in!!! When can we get em soon i hope what would you paint them with that would not rub off?
Sorry to hear aboput that pressure and K2. Maybe next time >smile.gif> .

Plating is away of rust proofing. I think they use zink but I'm not sure. You can paint them with any kind of rustolium (sp?) paint. The paint will rub off where the pad meets the surface of the rotor but that is a given. 2 more and we can place the order. Please state how you would like your rotors set up and what you need (ex. fronts and backs slotted fronts and cross drilled backs)

I'm pretty interested but I got some questions I figure you as an expert can answer;) :

- I just replaced my front rotors with stocks, but my backs are starting to go. Is it going to be wierd with slotted/drilled rotors just in the back?
- Is the price with shipping or without (was a little confused with all the response posts).
- How much is the paint going to cost me would you say.
- Any real advantages between drilled and slotted?

i think its up to you if it looks wierd or not. If it were me I would get both neway.

shipping is not included.

$2.95.....I don't know! Go to Home Depot and look.

From what I have learned both help with the cooling of your brakes. I perfer slotted B/C they tend to be forged into the rotor as the cross drills are drilled into the rotor after the fact (this may have an effect to the strenth of the rotor)

In?

Hmmm.....

Save for rims and tires OR cross drilled rotors???

I keep seeing an auction on ebay for a set of front and rear slotted/drilled rotors for $180+shipping, which is the exact same i would have to pay on here, so take me as a no. Not really a GB price if i can get them for the same price you all are payin.

Need proof...

yeah I saw those also but I don't trust that brand.
hey Bryan, I saw forkees post saying something about front only because 's got a ST. The Back rotors don't fit on STs?
i can answer that....no

you do not have disk brakes in the back... you have drums. rotors are the things that the brake pads press against to slow the car down..

but if you bought them for the back, then wouldn't you save money to do the drum to disk swap??

This money that's being taken away from my rims/tires buy soon so, I guess I'm out for this one sorry >frown.gif>
Is this it?

Member of Team 5sfTe
1bwilson - remove me from the maybe list. Thanks you.
Sorry Bryan, I'm out too. I'd really like a set, but I have other priorities right now. Money is tight, and paintjobs don't come cheap.
Hey, I wanna get the fronts, I guess i would need extra parts to convert my rear drums. Any know where i can get the parts cheap? I thought someone was doing a kit for the conversion.

There is a guy over at celica.net parting out his 6th gen gt. Name is mike moris, look in the buying and selling forum and shoot him an email (he responds quickly) about his brakes.

I will up date the list and add you for just the fronts so if you decide to get the backs you need to PM me. BTW what do you want? Slotted, Cross drilled or both?

-Bryan-

Member of Team 5sfTe
both, hey since i got you replying to my emails, know if anyone is selling or a good place for some koni shocks
