Just wondering where a good place is to buy front performance rotors for a 2001 Toyota Corolla. My car is not an S or sport model, and I'm not modding my car, but I just figure crossed-drilled rotors aren't much more expensive than normal, and I may put alloys on for summer so it would look a little better if the finish was nicer. Of course, I don't want them to have too much shine, as that would reduce friction performance. Anyhow, just wondering if there are options.

Anybody have experience buying performance rotors for their 01 Toyota Corolla or similar?

but your rears still drum so it'll still look like crap? not to mention the cross drilled rotors are prone to cracking. I would save your money

WHY!, It will still be a Corolla - you are better off getting a champagne brown paint job.

actually did some research and figure cross drilled rotors aren't worth it...

Unless there are performance solid rotors and pads, I'm not bothering with anything special.

Performance pads/rotors usually bites harder (thus better stopping distance) at the expense of rotor live/brake dust/brake noise. I would just replace with OEM quality after market rotors/brake pads.
