Im looking to replace the rotors and pads on my Supra.
The ones on the car since I bought it a month ago are shot. Im not looking for a brake system upgrade but would like to get good slotted rotors and good pads.

Dont know what everyone prefers but I was looking over at horsepowerfreaks at some, any others I should consider?

I found out the hard way how heavy these cars are and how hard they are to stop. Nothing bad happened but it got my heart beating.

Get some eBay rotors. $175 shipped for front and rears, slotted and drilled. Go get some full metallic pads with lifetime warranty from your local auto parts store.

Works great, no fade (street driving), last plenty long.

i actually got my rotors and pads from HPF. it got the rotora slotted front and rear and the KVR carbon fiber pads. talk about stopping on dime. yeah, it was kinda expensive but all four stock were grinding. i actually burned the rivets off the stock pads.

wow those KVRs sound impressive.
But im going to go back thru DriftMotion (always love to support those guys) and get PowerSlot Rotors (cuz I dont want drilled for strength integrity issues) front and rear with Axxis Pads. Mine are all squeaky so its time, plus they dont stop for SH!&

i'm very happy with my ebay rotors and ULT brake pads... going to install some braided brake lines this weekend as well.

i will get a big brake kit eventually though like that willwood kit in the misc vendors section.... but right now i have other projects on the go currently consuming all my supra money :)

brembo slotted(not ebay junk) with porterfield pads and of course braieded lines. i even went for braided with PVC covering.

dont skimp out on brakes, they are what stops you after all lol.
