Well I have a 04 Camry V6 3.3 and the brakes are due,( I drive alot in 1yr i put 30k miles)
Im thinking of putting slotted/drilled rotors, just dont know if thats a good move or not, so i wanna know if any one has changed there's and to what brand..
Also the brakes, for front and rear , what brand you used..
i might go TRD for the brakes but not sure.. kind of pricy..

Thats my next mod i plan to do. (after my 20s) I was looking around and thought about getting a big brake kit. It would be much better but more expenive. Anyways, i if i was going for the rotors only, there is a guy in ebay selling a set of 4 for like 100 bucks or something, look around.
regarding the size, lsmaller rims= better ride quality, well, i mean you dont need to worry about bumps or holes, wheas i will need to.
Naw you can go more than 20, i tried on 20 inch rims at some shop with my car lowered hows that? Imagine if it wasent? i could put in like 22s. But the tire was thin, i am going to buy em from a friend i am getting a good deal, 1 gran for 20s with brand new tired chrome 5 spoke, 3 inch lip, and trust me the way they are designed they will fit. I know many of you will tell me no way, but oh well. Hes a pic i took of em with my cell.
Where he bought them they told him he can oder to paint them any color for free. He paid like 3 gran or something for em. I was thinking about painting them blue like my car but it would be too much =D

Dont forget about the little details in your car. Such as if it is v6 or i4 and model xle se le etc.. Le and se are not the same, so check those links that i gave u and they will tell you that.
I have an 02 Camry LE V6 with the original brake pads and rotors with 90k on them, does Toyota use ceramic brakes on the V6? I want to replace with them the original equipment since they lasted me so long. What does a Toyota dealership approx charge to replace the pads for the front and rear?
You probably won't have to touch the rears.
I've heard really good things about the NAPA rotors.
Don't waste your money on TRD pads.
I was using Performance Friction pads on the front and they were great but dusted quite a bit but I don't mind that. Lifetime waranty at Pepboys.
I have the Stoptech big brake kit on my car now and nothing I've tried compares to these. Using AXXIS pads with these rotors.
If you drive hard stay away from drilled rotors. Slotted? not sure. I tried the Powerslot rotorsbut they didn't last. The Brembo solid rotors were the best stock rotors.
