Fitted them on Friday as we had two days of beautiful sunny weather and all the snow had melted. They have Yokoham AVS 100's on them which made it hell getting to work on monday after several inches of snow.

Had to put the old beat up ones on again :( as they have General Exclaim UHP's on them that are M+S rated.

Ive had mostly positive comments but would like to hear my fellow Supra owners opinions!

Thanks for the comments Guys

j specs with drilled and slotted rotors :D

Correct, with upgraded ceramic pads and High quality Temp Resistant caliper paint

 

drilled discs improve j-spec standard brakes at all?

They are loads better than originals but mostly down to the better pad compound braided lines and fresh fluid, not the discs themselves but see below

 

not realy... IMO its a gimic plus cheap drilled discs crack after a while

Mostly correct, on this car they are mostly for looks as I don't track the Supra, It's my daily Driver.

My track car is a Nissan skyline R33, we did a few tests two years ago with a Laser thermometer and stock vs drilled and slotted discs

 

Initial stopping distances were nearly identical (The Drilled and slotted beat the stocks by 1.5 feet on an average of 3 stops from 40 mph.

The difference is temperature!

The stocks were at 180C after the 3 stops and had cooled to

105c after 3 minutes of driving in a circle in the parking lot

 

We allowed the brakes to cool and swapped them out, keeping the same pads

 

The Drilled and slotted were at a nearly Identical 171c after the 3 hard stops

After 3 mins of driving in a circle? an amazing 68c!

 

at the Nurburg ring my old brakes used to fade like the French Army in WWII

 

It really takes a pounding to do them in, Usually I over heat the tires first.

 

So all my cars get them now.

 

and Yes Cheap ones will crack, I only use cryo treated rotors.

2+ years of constant abuse on my skyline an not even a hairline crack, My stock rotors were full of small surface cracks and warped and they were only a year old!

 

On the street use only supra, I expect They might out live the motor, (I just passed 160,000 kms or 100k miles)
