4th Generation Good rotors?

I got a 2000 toyota camry wit the 1mzfe and my rotors are starting to go. Any one has any good place to get drilled or slotted or both rotors for a decent price? any good things about these ones off ebay?

dont bother...they wont help ya. all drilled and slotted will do is make ya go through pads faster, make you have to replace the rotors if they ever need a resurface and will warp easier. unless you are racing, you have no need for them.

if ya do race...you still have no need for stock size drilled and slotted rotors. get stainless steel brake lines and some good pads and youll stop MUCH better then if ya got drilled and slotted rotors.

if ya need rotors, brembo blanks are tops.

Yeah.. brembo vented rotors is the best. No need for slotted or drilled rotors. Plain and vented will do.

Ditto. Brembo is the best.

However, I've used Raybestos Raymold (or now Red Label service grade). These are like $15 each. About 1/3 the Brembo ones. In typical driving these are fine.

If you drive hard, then go with Brembos. If you want to save money in daily drive to the market, Raybestos service grade works, IMO, better than OEM.

I've seen rockauto.com ads here, so I guess I can point you there. (??)

Get the Akebono ProAct ceramic (FF rating) to go with them. These are actually better than the ones Akebonos makes for Toyota (cheap EE rating). The Akebono street performance (GG rating) are very good, but not sure you get the bang for the buck over ProAct.

Hawks ceramic or carbon pads are pretty decent as well
