Hi guyz, I'm in canada and i would want to know where I can order 2 fronts drilled or slotted rotors stock size for my celica 1994gts.

Please help I searched a lot on the net but cannot find good rotora or brembo rotors that ship to canada.

Which brand is good?

I know nothing about these guys, but a quick google search got this.

I don't know what the difference is between the 6gen and 7gen rotors, but if they'd fit then there's this too.

EBC Turbos might suit your needs, I have them on my GT4 and they are very good. TRD also do slotted discs

Conclusion: Raybestos makes very good Drilled Rotors and Semi-metal/Semi-Ceramic pads for a celica with stock sized brakes
Raybestos rotors resist very high temperatures...

yes but some have to start from a high temp to work as well, you'd want something like 0deg-600deg i think?

dba have colour spots on the rotors so you know what temperture range they are at

also whats the reason of buying them? looks? racing on track?

if your going TRD rotors (or even GT4 rotors whatever make) you'll have to get GT4 calipers for the front, also the country where I am, I have to get a a low volume cert if I go larger brake rotors (like when you get adjust suspension put in)

A friend of mine works in the friction business. Learned lots from him. Go for grooved/slotted discs, not drilled. Drilling makes the disc unreliable, at least in the entry level price segment. I'd go for grooved TRD discs (or rotors as you call them?) and Ferodo pads. Don't get pads for circuit use, as they have to be warmed up before achieving max friction. Get fast road type. Furthermore, like Rusty says: If you can get a hold of ST205 brake calipers, do so! They're a vast upgrade over regular GT brake calipers.

I`d personally get EBC turbo discs to suit your car, saves messing around with GT4 calipers etc...they are grooved & dimpled discs so dont suffer the same fate as fully drilled discs, they work well & look good.
