That'd be too obvious though lol, and snap would be a more literal term of what will happen when you get these

It's a leftover caliper, mated to a larger diameter, OEM quality rotor. With holes in it.

trd bbk

there is a difference! the celica rotors are 2 piece and slotted, the tc's is a 1 piece rotor and drilled. making the rotor a 1 piece is cheaper so thats why the difference in price.

The Celica BBK is slotted so I think this is different. It also cost $1K less that the Celica kit so something is definitely different.

well after thinking it over a bit, I'm gonna stay with original plan of the slotted stoptech stage 2 kit because

A) I don't like drilled rotors
B) BBK is kinda overkill (IMO)
C) easier on my bank acct. (lol)

He's probably talking about PowerSlot Plus rotors, but to my knowledge Wilwood has no desire to make rear rotors or a BBK for the tC... even they said it was unnecessary.

were you talking about me or the orignal poster?
i meant JUST THE BRAKE CALIPER hahahaha
no **** wilwood doesnt make rotors
there is no such thing as a rear BBK period, but companies do make rear brakes that are paired with the front
