    just a quick comment on slotted rotors, other than appearance, they aren't really an upgrade. honestly i felt better braking with my OEM toyota pads and rotors than with my current setup of brembo slotted/drilled rotors. Unless your gonna actually upgrade upgrade the brakes ($$$) to like a big brake kit, then your just going to change the appearance. If looks is what you really mean by "upgrade" theeennnn...

    Just pick up some ebay brembo rotors for like $75. From my understanding they aren't ACTUALLY brembo slotted/drilled, however, they are brembo blanks that someone else has actually done the slotting and drilling. if you wanna see what they look like, check out my cardomain link. HOPE this helps.

    are you using your oem brake pads on your slotted rotors or are those after market too. And other than the apperance the stock pads and rotors will do huh.Im not looking for a big brake kit just looking for something that can handle my harder braking than the oem

    thanks

    Go with poweslot, they even have a larger disc option which still utalize your stock calipers on the 03+

    Ans I'd have to disagree, slotted rotors help scrape off and evacuate brake dust from the rotor and pad surface. It is cross drilled rotors which is useless.
