Hi all,
With over 200,00kms on the clock, I'm thinking my brake rotors finally need replacing. I've got a standard V6 Alloytec with 16" wheels, so was wondering whether it's best to get solid, slotted or vented and whether or not you can get slotted/vented for 16" wheels. If so, what are the better brands to get and the best places to get them? Only reason I ask about slotted / vented is because I do a lot of driving on back roads and get fairly heavy on the brakes so would like better than average brakes.
It seems like there's a lot of them on eBay but I never trust many things off eBay as I know working for a National Retail chain, many things can be Chinese ripoffs.
Also, I've never done any work on my car but I'm presuming rotors and pads (have done pads and oil changes before on my old old old Corolla) aren't that hard to do.
Any advice would be awesome.
Thanks,
Matt
