    I need new front brakes. I want drilled and slotted rotors. Should i replace all 4 or just the ones that need it? any brand recommendations? links to sites would be like christmas morning for me. If anyone has aftermarket brakes leme know, what brand are they, just the specs, what do you think of them... EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. thanks everybody.

    Replace all 4 rotors and pads. Dezod has a list of options availble where you can decide from. Either order from them or somewhere else reputable. Personally I like ordering from stores that cater to your car because it'll help them stay in business.

    As I've said before in another post the stealership will rob you of the rotors. Even the Toyota tech were surprised at the costs of each OEM rotor (it would have been over $400 for just the rotors). Just get decent ones and you should be gravy (StopTech, Power Slot, Brembo (they're always out of Brembos) are good choices).

    Oh almost forgot. I got Dezod blanks (I don't see them on the site anymore, maybe they were just rebadged StopTechs) and Axxis Ultimate pads. They were worth every penny and I notice less fading than with the stock units. They also wear faster and dust is more apparent but honestly the darker rims look better if you ask me. I have roughly 40k miles on them with even wear. I probably paid about $400 for them all but I know Dezod has slotted/drilled kits that you can purchase.

    Thats your best solution, i made the mistake of letting toyota replace my stock brake pads, they charged me something like $315, so spending 599 on the brake kit they have isn't a bad idea... Even the 299 kit is better then the stocks.
