having rotors that are drilled and/or slotted helps dissapate the hot gasses created by braking .. thereby cooling the rotors more effectively .. and also helps you stop quicker .. combined w/ the TRD pads im gettin .. there should have a noticeable improvement ..

UPDATE: I am ordering my Buddy Club 2 kit today .. ill have it by Tuesday .. installin it all next week .. and im gettin my 18" Enkei RSVs soon after .. when i get my tax return back .. should be first week in Feb .. the kit will be financed by the accident pretty much fully .. and the rims will be paid for by my tax return and the money i get from sellin my rims .. so im virtually gettin a full body kit and 18" rims for free (except for the tax return) .. i think thats a good deal .. i am also gettin my rotors/TRD pads installed this saturday by my bro at the dealership he works at ..

more of a current realistic update on my car .. i just ordered the set of 18" Bronze Enkei RSVs from http://www.wheelcomponents.com for very cheap .. $556 shipped .. will be here in less than a week .. the kit is at the body shop .. i will be waiting till i get my rims on and the tax return $ to install it .. hopefully i get the money in a few days .. so i can order the Pirellis .. the Injen CAI will be coming tomorrow supposedly .. and im gonna have it installed w/ the body kit .. the rotors went in and they are great .. i can feel a moderate difference .. my bro did a great job installin them for me at the dealership he works at .. i ordered a black mesh grille from ebay so i have somethin to put in the holes in the front of the car .. and i hung out with Joe@Dezod for a little while and hes puttin me in his car club called Deceptive Illusions .. i will be at HIN in Boston w/ him and his friends in that group .. btw .. his car is truly sick .. pushin almost 350whp .. he got a new intercooler ..

my car should definitely be done by next meet .. rims are ordered .. $556 shipped .. which is great .. and instead of gettin Pirelli PZero Neros .. im gettin a set of Nitto NT NeoGen ZRs .. someone that has a really nice Audi w/ a turbo has had a few sets and recommended them to me at NTB in Salem NH .. nice guy .. said they will perform better then the Pirellis and outlast them .. and they are also specially designed for cars w/ negative camber .. prolly thicker rubber on the inner side of the tire which is cool .. and i got them for cheaper then the Pirellis too .. ($114 a piece) $580 installed w/ the road hazard warrantee .. which is great .. so .. all in all .. $1136 total for rims .. installed .. im happy w/ that .. tires and rims should be gettin installed sometime next week .. and the kit shortly after .. along w/ the Injen CAI .. so .. things are lookin good .. heres a pic of the rims (Bronze 18X7.5" Enkei RSVs w/ 35mm offset) im gettin and heres a pic of the tires (Nitto NT NeoGen ZR 225/40ZR18s) im gettin too:
