Most.rotors made for our 6gc is house hold part stores or China made junk. Brembo rotors are also made in China now and are 100% junk from what I've heard. I definitely need new back rotors. Any suggestions before I order sp Performance rotors for 165$ for back set.

Not everything from China is junk. Brembo are still a good brand, tight QC and proper manufacturing. I personally like Centric's line of premium rotors, I run them on my 7G Celica and they stand up to abuse well. I've had them up to nearly 800F a few times without issue.

Either Raybestos Professional or the Centric StopTech Sport slotted.

Just to add to what Bitter said, China only makes junk because that's what the companies over here tell them to make. They're a very capable people, I once used some Chinese made microscopes and they were quite good. The key there being it was a Chinese owned company, so they made to their standard and not what some other company came in and wanted them to make.

I looked and centric and stop tech no longer makes rear rotors just front for 6gc, well the entry level centric but not the premium line. Will 7th gen rear rotors work on 6th gen?

RockAuto has the rear rotors.

Were like $47 each or so, plus whatever shipping is. Then you add the 5% discount though. If you're just doing the rears I'd go with whatever level Centric's professional line is that isn't slotted or the Raybestos Professional which were like $30 or so each.

Really this would be a good time to get some quality rotors and pads all around since you're having to do the backs anyway. Assuming since you have KYB/Tein suspension you like to drive in a sporty manner, so having good brakes is always a plus.

I checked rockauto for rears I can't find anything besides rays. Would you guys recommend them?

I don't care about price I'd rather pay for something once and letting it pay for its self in the long run. I can find ebc and a bunch of rotors for front but the rear isn't a big selection lol. Also I did check 7th gen rotors have different specs. I was hoping I'd get lucky.

I keep forgetting about Amazon even though I have the Prime stuff. Definitely can't beat some of the wholesale prices on there.

Yeah I love Prime. You can watch movies and TV shows just like Netflix and free 2 day shipping on a bunch of items for 100$ a year.
