    Are slotted rotors really necessary?

    considering the cost difference VS performance gain with extreme braking yes.

    You can always get lower end pads and rotors but for a little extra why not.

    Because it is already going to be around $400 I'm guessing. I ain't driving a race car, so regular rotors will suffice. No need for college me to spend extra money where it isn't needed

    Yeah and honestly the biggest improvement will be the larger footprint of the caliper anyways.

    At least get EBC 6000 pads though.

    That alone will make a big difference. I'll research pads now. Do you think that general Autozone rotors would be good enough?

    I swear by EBC pads, I have really liked the stopping power and quick bed in period, I only run them from now on and have them on my truck and Acura.

    Brakes are nothing to skimp on. The 6000 series is fairly inexpensive and are designed for 4x4 trucks like the Tacoma.

    The subtotal of my upgrade is $481 before tax. That's pretty steep for me
