    Replaced the plugs and wires on my 02 V6. They looked like the original plugs at 134K. I replaced them with OEM Toyota plugs and wires.

    I also received my Bilstein 5100's today, so I used a bit of Kroil and sprayed all the shock bolts so they'd be easy to remove when I replace them next week.

    We turn rotors and you can turn them back straight if they aren't warped too bad, but they are then thinner and more likely to warp again in most instances. The only vehicles you can justify turning them on are some of the larger suv's/trucks that don't do a lot of towing.

    I liked my slotted and drilled rotors when I was IFS. I'm actually about to put them on my setup now. I could tell a difference with all of the extra weight on my truck. Plus they did stay a lot cooler.

    The dont increase the stopping distance what so ever! They cool faster thus not getting any brake fade. Why do you think most high end performance vehicles have them????

    Also with drilled and slotted you can not have them machined or (turned)

    ...too much shit to list.
    LOL at this post. Maybe you should read the rest of the thread.

    High end performance cars have them cause the fucking rotors are huge for a vehicle that weighs 3000 lbs. Go out and measure your rotor and let me know how big it is for your 2 ton + truck

    Makes sense.

    I want endorsing them, never even thought about them, I was just curious as to why not.

    You can turn them, just have to have a machinist who knows what he/she is doing and does not rush.
