Picked these up from over the weekend. My latest addition to my addiction

 

They look good. Who makes em?

 

Looks good... I see you took off the Bomex kit AGAIN... is it for shows only... lol

 

lol i had to take off the side skirts to fit the jack under and lift it. its a hassle

 

What is the deal I hear with drilled rotors breaking prematurely? As in cracks develop from where they are drilled and such? I know slotted rotors are supposed to be much more durable, but hear much more mixed stuff on drilled.

 

One word.....SEX!

Looks awesome man keep it up! Box is looking great..

 

Looking good man!

 

I'm liking the rotors!! nice job.

 

The rear rotors look horrible! You should remove them and put back the stocks. I'll take the slotted ones to get recycled. No need to thank me Bobby...

 

LOL good one Darkside... Just pony up the money and go buy your self a set to match the sexxxy TRD BBK you have up front... Or did the wife take away all your play time money?

 

I bought these from Tri Net Motorsports. I saw these on ebay and I googles their name and found their number and gave them a call. on their website they show that they have front and rear calibers for the 08-09 xb & steel braided brake lines, but when i called and talked to the guy he told me that they did not have the brake lines for our car and the calipers as well because they were having a hard time finding someone to do the powder coating done right. that the company they were using kept on messing up.

I took some better pics of the rotors w/ the wheels off and on looking all clean and shiny and sent them their way so if they ever get the calipers done right and steel braided hoses hopefully they'll notify me 1st or better yet send the 1st pair my way =)

 

the theory behind slotted / drilled / dimpled rotors is that the cavity provides extra cooling for the rotors. However alot of the companies that just buy blank rotors and self drill them on their machines in some random warehouse tend not to have the highest quality of machinery or process. Under various conditions some people start to see stress cracks coming from those drilled holes.

I've always recommended going with dimpled or slotted rotors but then again I'm guilty of having drilled rotors myself. I haven't gotten any stress cracks on them yet (*knock on wood). Drilled rotors tend to look the best though.... but just make sure you guys inspect your rotors from time to time..... last thing anyone wants is f*cked up braking.

 

True and it really depends on how u brake as well. you u step on the break hard or when you really dont need to then u may be more proned 2 have stress cracks. I usually just let my foot off the gas and let my foot hover over the brake so i only step on the break when I really need to. it helps save the pads for longer life, and helps reduce heat on the rotors

 

nice rotors, crazy how much of a difference they make on the cars looks. i hear a lot of different things about drilled rotors, personally i love the way they look. anyone have any info on the EBC rotors, i think im gonna buy these real soon. scroll down to the drilled & "dimpled" rotors
