#1 number one rotors, anyone? Options

[brthrurik]

Has anyone used any of #1 number one performance parts? I am looking for drilled slotted rotors and I came across these on the nopi e-cat website for what seems to be pretty reasonable prices. Just wondering if anyone had any input or recomendations...

brembo

as far as I know brembo doesn't make a drilled slotted rotor for the 6gc, or at least I haven't been able to find them

[brthrurik]

drilled & slotted do not help really.

pick one or the other but not both,

i had #1 drilled/slotted rotors when i had my celica up and running, they worked well with EBC GREEN stuff pads. i liked their performance.

but a quality zinc coated slotted rotor would be great

nice find.. that's gotta be the best place to get slotted & drilled rotors for our cars without getting them from ebay...

but i'd rather stick with brembo blanks...

you are confusing terms.....the cheapest doesn't = the best...those rotors by no means are great amazing quality, i have hair fractures all over my rotors (it looks like).

there are many other better brands, but you will pay extra $ for that

im confused

[playr158]

sorry i guess that is a little confusing..

with the new research and new products, having both on 1 rotor hasn't proven better then slotted rotors in a lot of cases, a lot of car manufactures now seeing the benefits of drilled rotors have them stock, porsche/Mercedes/evos ect.

having both can lead to fractures and cracking in many cases.

though my second statement, was that the #1 rotors did work pretty well and i liked how they worked (for the $) but i did see hairline fractures in the rotor when i removed them from my car, leading me to believe they would have failed in the future.

i say powerslot is highly recommended

[brthrurik]

for the price I went ahead and ordered a set and got free shipping with a promo code... so even if they crack they have a lifetime warranty, I send em back and get'em replaced.

by the way if anyone is interested the promo code for free shipping is BP10100

[illneversellmyce...]

i had number one cross/drilled and they warped on me within two months, but im a special case cuz my passenger caliper went bad so who knows

hey those brembos are they for both the ST and GT, or just the GT, cuz that's usally the case

[LewFX]

st is smaller then the gt

i got my brembo's from tirerack.com

I got these along with Green Stuff on my 5th gen I had 5 years ago. I really wasn't impressed at all, and I think I had worse braking power than with an OEM set up. So I say no, and go for something like Brembo, bigger name brand.

[stevest202]

there is a few celicas over here been using drilled and grooved discs and good quality greenstuff pads and these have been splittng/dissintegrating under extreme braking ie when hot and you brake heavy they break i would go one or the other drill not grooved or grooved not drilled
