Slotted Brake Rotors
Are these any good?: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...7720379&rd=1,1
Are there any others available for the Yaris hatch yet that might be better? I've been waiting on EBC, but they haven't come through yet. |

GReddy has a GREX BBK for the Yaris already w/ four piston calipers. It uses slotted rotors.
Which brings up an interesting question... what would be the best rotor design for a car like this? |

Apexing Egg!!

slotted rotors are really a waste of money. if you want the best braking capacity, get a quality, high temp pad (the kind that dust alot and squeal like crazy), high temp fluid, and stainless lines. If you want a racer look, then get slotted rotors. :)
oh, and you can only brake as much as your tires can grip so good tires go along way for braking. (good example = F1 cars!)

honestly, the stock rotors and pads are freakin awesome, if you're talking about street use. i'm at 46--- miles on my xA, stock brake pads and rotors and still way over half pad left. this includes heavy use at autocross and daily on the street.
i would be happy to test fit my xA rotors and let you guys know if they're the same as Yaris ones.. then you can pick up all the xA/B rotors |

Yikes! I'm being stalked.
I really do just want the rotors for cosmetics. They'd go well with the "TRD" calipers in my avatar. |

I've always been a fan of powerslot rotors, but on this car, I think the best for the application would just be a high grade flat rotor and some better pads and stainless lines... I guess you could go with the GRex kit if you really think you drive your Yaris hard enough to induce heavy brake fade.

Endless make replacement two piece rotors (aluminum hat) which will actually save weight as well as reduce cost when replacing rotors the next time since you only need to replace the outer portion.
Endless also offer a full line of pad options as well as both 4-pot and Mini 6-pot big brake kits. $3900 for 4-pot and $4300 for Mini 6-pot. Expensinve, but the best! C-One offer front and rear slotted and drilled rotors, and two types of pads. Also very expensive. Brembo also offer "OEM" replacement rotors which are some of the best quality. Where did you guys see the Grex brakes offered? Price? |

I looked but could not find any of those replacement rotors for the 2007 Yaris hatch. Is there a source?

www.endlessusa.com for the Endless stuff (they're revamping the site right now but you can call or email)
I usually go to Ebay for the Brembo stuff, just make sure it's a "legit" business and is selling actuall quality stuff. www.c-one.co.jp for the C-One stuff. You can pick that up from most of the forum sponsors also. I was also told www.fastbrakes.com are making a rear disc brake "kit" and offer front replacement rotors (possibly larger?). I haven't called to confirm. I don't have any experience with the stuff, so use at your own risk. |

Google at R1 Concepts on the web. They carry slotted and drilled rotors for the 2007 Yaris at a good price.
