how any miles are on them, wouldnt hurt to get them trimmed or replaced since they are rather inexpensive.

The minimum rotor thickness specified by Toyota on the Celica is something like 21mm from memory(Don't quote me on that though). So long as the rotors aren't below the specified thickness, aren't cracked, pitted, warped etc, then the only reason to change them would be to upgrade.
Plenty of options out there - just stay away from the cheap x drilled ones you see on eBay. Other than that, it'll depend on your budget.

A cheap but good upgrade is a BlackDiamond&Ferodo combo. I have used this for two trackday seasons, and am impressed compered to the original brakes. The next step is a bigbrake kit... -------------------- Toyota Celica 2.0GT 1995 - 175BHP - D2Racing coilovers - BlackDiamond brakes - TOYO R881 tires - |
