Well this year i need to change my brakes on my summer car, and since i have my brand new deep dish wheels...my old rotors are now fugly :lol: . I didn't want to buy those cheap junk drilled rotors from e-bay (NOT good) , so i did some research and made a decision based on my friends experience, which is good because he has the same set up on his BMW M3, and Skyline GTR with great success! I was going to get Brembo's, or Zimmerman's but they rust bad, and tend to warp. My friend swears by these ATE rotors, and the Akebono euro ceramic pads are supposed to be just about the best, with no dust which is important to me since i have HUGE deep dish wheels front & back (non staggered). Anyone else ever try these ATE slotted rotors with the Metacote?

I have steel braided brake lines, 13" BAER brake kit, and a 12" custom rear brake kit...... All good upgrades :lol:


Yours are nice too - pics of the car NOW!

I ran cross drilled Brembo's and Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads on my old Camry and the braking difference was night and day over stock. I expect what your going to install will give you maximum braking as well. :thumbsup:

No dust is very important. Looks like crap, and if you use cheap asbestos pads to save money and do it without proper protection...

Personally, having done asbestos abatement before, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole without a full-face.

I hate dusty wheels. :thumbsdown:

:popcorn: I bet this is gonna look great...not mention whiplash stopping power.
