ok so i tried to do abit of research but it just went in one ear and out the other.
i need to change my rotors, will do the front ones first then the rear.
i have a gr i had a quick read through the descriptions and dont know if they will suit, one said something about 15 inch wheels anyway links are below if anyone could please advise which is the better option for a GR.

The thing u read about 15" wheels is the minimum size rim u can have for clearance of both rotor and caliper I'm pretty sure as for what type of rotor slotted drilled grooved or a combination of all is better then just a standard flat surfaced rotor hope that helps

The 276mm rotors are GPX rotors - the GR are 260
Heres a set on ebay

Im sure you can source a local set much cheaper than that - just a matter of cross referencing the part number - im sure someone who has sourced them here before can point you to the cheapest source.

Standard rotors will be fine unless you do more aggressive driving.

thanks for the link taz, and i like to have abit of fun with the car every now and again like every one else, slotted cools everything down abit though yeh? i also read slotted rotors wear the pads faster?

Super expensive mate. When I get back to my pc I'll dig up my links. Front rotors are the same as a magna.

Front rotors and pads are the same as a HJ Galant 93-95 V6 5 stud. They are available everywhere and I wouldn't pay over $200.00.
I can price ya up if you wish. Definitely under $200.00.

Those 256mm GR rotors are a bit harder to come by than the GPX ones.
Adzski, have you though about upgrading to GPX brakes? The GR stock single pots really are rubbish.

Yeah there's always a few sets floating around. You just need the bigger calipers. You can then buy the dics & pads off ebay. It all just bolts on.
dstocks would probably have a few sets.
