That'd be too obvious though lol, and snap would be a more literal term of what will happen when you get these

It's a leftover caliper, mated to a larger diameter, OEM quality rotor. With holes in it.

trd bbk

there is a difference! the celica rotors are 2 piece and slotted, the tc's is a 1 piece rotor and drilled. making the rotor a 1 piece is cheaper so thats why the difference in price.

The Celica BBK is slotted so I think this is different. It also cost $1K less that the Celica kit so something is definitely different.

well after thinking it over a bit, I'm gonna stay with original plan of the slotted stoptech stage 2 kit because

A) I don't like drilled rotors
B) BBK is kinda overkill (IMO)
C) easier on my bank acct. (lol)

i know brembo, powerslot, stoptech and a couple of others make rears. i thought powerslot made some

He's probably talking about PowerSlot Plus rotors, but to my knowledge Wilwood has no desire to make rear rotors or a BBK for the tC... even they said it was unnecessary.

were you talking about me or the orignal poster?
i meant JUST THE BRAKE CALIPER hahahaha
no **** wilwood doesnt make rotors
there is no such thing as a rear BBK period, but companies do make rear brakes that are paired with the front
