Hello all I wanted to change my brake pads and rotors to drill slotted, however I don't know which model and brand to go with. I want great stops and low brake dust. Thank you for your replies!

 

For pads people buy anything from TRD to EBC. Look into Stoptech, DBA and Brembo's OEM line for rotors.

 

i say be unique and buy some Auto zone rotors and just drill holes in them lol

stoptech
R1

 

okay thanks!

 

haha..

 

I like my Porterfield R4S pads.

 

Can you link me the Brembo Rotors OEM line for scion xb 2012? I just want blanks

 

You can find the Brembo OEM blanks from Tire Rack. I got some for my Z4 from them for like 75 bucks for the pair. Nice solid rotors.

 

I tired to look for some but they didn't have any

Ya I tried to look for rear but seems like they only sell fronts

 

I know you said you want "drill slotted" rotors, I'm just curious why.

Not trying to argue or flame, but in my past research and experience, if good stopping is what you're after, you're going to notice the biggest difference with steel braided lines, and pads. Since I'm driving an Xb, I haven't found the need to spend the money on this yet. Although I'll be in the market for new pads, and later rotors, in the future.

With that said, I'm curious what pads people have experience with. Low-dust is a must however.

 

I went to brakeperformance.com

Got the slotted/dimpled and the semi mellatics. ITS AWESOME have had them for a year or so now. may do SS brake lines but for right now its incredible seeing as my box is raced and weighed down daily.

 

I am actually not going that direction anymore, I am just going with blanks

 

Yeah, sorry they didn't have any, I haven't looked for brakes in a couple of years. Guess they only have the Brembo for the BMW and other euro cars. I did notice they have the Brembo for the RAV 4 so they just don't make it for the XB, unless maybe you find a cross reference and get same matching size for the Xb and other Toyota model, Corolla or Matrix maybe, I think they use the exact same rotors.

I can't wait to do some kind of big brake upgrade.

 

I think om gonna order the same setup you have. Better than OEM and at a great price!

 

cross referenced 08 rav 4 w/o 3rd row and 4 cyl and they have the same front rotor as a 2008 xb all the same dimensions are exact

 

great price IMO

Are you experiencing a problem with your OE brakes? Or are you just interested in a particular look?
