TriNet Brakes???

[SalvageTC]

during my daily Ebay browse i came across some drilled and slotted rotors for my TC, but i`ve never heard of the brand and i casn`t seem to find the website. anyways here is the link to the ebay page. they make rotors for the other scion models as well. pretty cool check it out.

(guys if you look long enough you will eventually see the brake parts, you have to look past the distraction...lol)

any info ya`ll find or know on it i`m interested... lata

The way I look at it is do you want to trust your car and your life to a company you have never heard of and a product that is sold on eBay? For safety products, I would never buy off eBay. Just my .02

i hear ya. if i do buy from ebay its nothing major and its name brand. i just came across them and thought they were kinda neato and wondered if anyone new anything about them or had them on their ride... thanks though.

I wouldn't... I looked at some Lexus IS boards and they said they're cheap chinese-made rotors and warp easily.

If you want new rotors, get powerslot or Stoptech.... Stoptech's better by far.

[SalvageTC]

yeah ive looked at a powerslot big rotor kit that has a caliper bracket for the over sizeds rotors. they were black plated instead of zinc. i was concerned that the black would wear off over time??? but i did find today i can get brembo rotors for all four corners for about $180 from o`reillys through my work. i`ll be going with that im sure.

If you do upgrade your rotors, I would stick with the slotted vs drilled. Cross-drilled rotors warp easily, especially under harsh driving conditions and weather (ie; rain or snow). I know some friends that work at Zolman tire and they've come across this sort of thing more often with cross-drilled than slotted or even oem. Good luck with your search.

[Krdshrk]

Yep. If you're drilling holes in the rotor, you're taking away structural stability..

[SalvageTC]

i didn`t know that guys. i appreciate the feedback. drilled can be bad but slotted is ok? i wanna say the brembos that i priced were drilled and slotted. i`ll be sure to check. thanks again guys...

[Krdshrk]

Slotted is better. You can look at them and see they're slotted, and it'll help with clearing brake dust and venting heat, but it doesn't structurally weaken the rotor.... at least, not nearly as bad as drilling does.

Hey ive been thaking about doing this also, so what is a good brand out there. I found a kit made by wilwood but they wont 1200 for it i dont wont 2 spend that much....

when it comes to brakes. its wise to spend the extra cash. you do get what you pay for. i would suggest doing more research and save some cash and buy a better product.

if the girl came with package then maybe...:banana:

What are you looking for, Krackerbox? I think you're talking about a Big Brake kit for the xB.. You should be able to find OEM replacement slotted rotors and higher peformance brake pads no problem.

very true, and most companies selling slotted and drilled rotors do the slotting and drilling after the stamping process. which like you said weakens the rotors, ive heard of them shattering under stress.

but there is one company out there that has the patent on stamping with the slots so no integrity is sacrificed, bad news is i forget the company name(but i know they are a bit expensive as most quality products are), but i do know they have the patent and their slots go ALL THE WAY to the tip of the rotor, unlike all the other weak ones. so look for a patent symbol and slots that span to the rotor edges.

x2, its more important how fast you can go from 60-0 than it is to go from 0-60. cant have a fast car with it wedged under a tractor trailer.

(as i sport stock brakes and almost all n/a bolt ons.lol)

[Krdshrk]

I don't know about xB's but I know someone has changed their brakes in the rear from drums to discs...

Even stoptech cuts their rotors after they're manufactured. They had to cut the slots in mine.. Still - they're holding up strong.
