Celica GT Front Brake

Hi all,

I need to replace my front brake. I'm still comparing prices now. So far I found some online stores it cheap. The brand is Japan. Is it an okay brand or should I look for a better one? I want to at least get a mid-grade part. What about Satisfied, Wagner, Quicktop? Which one would you recommend? Should I replace the rotors as well (the dealer where I had my car checked didn't say anything about the rotors). Thanks.

I wouldn't replace the rotors unless you have some wobble/vibration when you use the brakes.

the OEM brakes are pretty good, might want to look at hawk and some other if you do any performance driving with it.

You can machine your rotors. If they squeak, means you MUST machine or replace. Machining can only be done once or twice max. Check your drums at the back, dealer should tell you on percentage left. you need the back breaking support as well do break evenly.
