Just got my new rotora brake setup done with Axiss pads. Swapped out my TRD rotors and EBC pads. That setup worked great, but the Rotora/Axiss combination is working out even better. For those of you unsure about Rotora....don't be. The quality of there rotors are top notch. The hubs and top part of rotors come e-coated in black to prevent rust. Still breaking in the rotors but so far this setup has exceeded my expectations in every way.

A cheaper alternative to dropping $1500 on a big brake upgrade.

Oh, for those of you wondering how the 25mm spacers look, check out the second rear shot of the brakes.

I agree...good quality for the money. I have 6,000 miles on mine now and no problems. Prior, I had the EBC pads, and the X-drilled/slotted RT rotor setup which wore way fast and kept warping.

Did you have to remove the Dust Shield on the front brakes.
Can you still use your factory 17's with the Rotora brake kit?

DrewGS4

QWK,
As you can see in the pictures, the dust shield is still there. From that point all I did was to put back my stock 17's.

Remember that I do not have the BIG brake kit from Rotara which includes calibers, cross drilled rotors and a 4 piston setup. Those run about $1600. For this setup you will need a 5mm spacer to fit on stock 17inch wheels.

However, my setup is just the rotors with axiss brake pads on stock calibers. Everything is plug and play and no spacers required. The rear picture includes a 25mm spacers because I like how the rear wheels are now flushed with the fender.

here is a shot of the rear with the 25 mm spacers

Hey Drew,
Thanks for the answer.. I thought yours was the 4-piston Rotora kit..
Some one told me with any big brake upgrade you will need to take the dust shields off even Supra/TRD brakes, and cannot use stock 17's.. Is this True..?

Anyways your Rotor Upgrade looks good - how much did it cost?

I have the Rotora 4-piston setup and they had to cut a section of the dust shield to accommodate the front brakes.

Yes. EIther trimmed like JacobT or removed since usually the rotors of the Big Brakes are bigger. If you look at the shield, it hangs over the stock rotors which won't work with the larger rotors.

how much for the rotors drew? I like your rotors they look really nice but i do like the cross drilled slotted look any suggestions?

I would check with our man Steve Gantz as the prices flucuate. I think I paid 400 or something like that from him. I ordered them like 4 months ago and only got around to putting them on last week.

Very impressed with them so far. Stops on a dime and a little less whooshing sound when comparing it to the TRD. The TRD rotors have deeper grooves than the Rotora and is probably why. So far so nice.
