Default Supra TT Rear rotors-cross drillled? slotted cross drilled? Standards??

Im about to change out the rear rotors on my TT setup and need suggestions. I never had cross drilled/slotted rotors before and see some of ya running these and wanted to know what ya think about em??

I know there suppose to cool the rotors but do they work better than the usual standard stock rotors? How would you get these turned(resurfaced)? And, where can I get these without spending a fortune?

unless you're driving a track whhore... your car dosent really need and wont really benefit from slotted/drilled rotors. they're mainly for looks, so don't let anyone feed you the story about how they "have less fade, better cooling performance, etc".

although i hate to admit it, if you're absolutely wanting the slotted/drilled look on a DECENT set of rotors, ebay is your best friend. PowerSlot rotors specifically makes good street rotors that wont force you to brake your piggy bank.

in all honestly; on the street...Pads are what makes a difference, in terms of stopping better/quicker.

just go slotted.

All of the std, slot, xdrill-slot, dimple etc all machine the same way on a rotor machine lathe with a diamond tip

look for TRW Lucas Pads

Agreed! Stopping is about surface area!
