supradanturbo Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Im trying to get hold of a pair of slotted jspec rear discs. Where can I get them other than the cheap ones on eBay? Also has anyone tried the eBay ones. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 They are nearly all of Asian origin and based on cheap castings made from melted down Rickshaws and bicycles, so don't expect quality, and be aware slotted discs chew up pads and can be noisy. Slotted and "drilled" discs on race cars are considered sacrificial and may give a minutely better bite time in the wet. On a road car consider them style items.

evinX Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I agree with Chris, i so badly wanted slotted discs when i went for my big brake conversion because they look awesome hands down, but after speaking to alot of people and gathering advise, it soon becomes obvious slotted discs are actually worse than 'solid' discs. Id just buy OEM toyota, play it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Uk Spec or anything high performance I'd go OEM. But for J-Spec the eBay M-Tec are absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffsplace Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 mine came with these, they work, look ok, but I don't have anything to compare them to, and the front versions are pretty pish, but I have just got some uk specs to go on the front to get her stopping a bit better in any case.
