Need recommendations. I drive her hard, warping rotors. Believe its the calipers. Looking for replacements and plan on buying drilled/slotted rotors and pads from Brakemotive. Also want to upgrade suspension wear items like bushings. Thanks for the help.

I just got the brake motive pads and rotors. I just also got legend calipers as well. They are two piston vs one piston. Total for me was just under 250$. I am going to be painting the calipers this weekend and hopefully have them on next week just have to get my friend to help me out them on. The rotors are the problem they warp easy so going with aftermarket pads and rotors usually works better. Legend calipers will have better contact with pad and the part numbers are FRC10627 & FRC10628

+1 on the Legend calipers and Brakemotive rotors/pads. Don't go too aggressive on the pad material. They will absolutely trash your rotors. Stick with ceramic pads if you are not taking your TL to the track.

My setup is Legend calipers, Brakemotive rotors/pads, Stainless Steel Lines, DOT 5.1 fluid. No complaints at all for the past 3K miles. You may not think that's a lot of time to see faults, but my old setup was EBC slotted rotors with Yellow Stuff pads. They lasted 3K miles before warping. I used that setup for 8K miles. The pads were worn down to nothing and the rotors were beyond repair.

warping rotors is also caused by over torquing the lug nuts.

Thanks for the advice Stephen where'd you pick up the Legend rotors? Is there a vendor here that stocks them?

WoW you warped the EBC Rotors?
Im using the exact same Combo and I cant do shit to them I drive hard from time to time so I abuse the brakes often, they show no sign of Warping at All.

Im Currently using the Red Stuffs since I finished my Yellows at 9000K they dont last but they are Damn Grippy.

In contrast the OEM blanks would be beyond Repair by Now.

yeah i dont know what happened. maybe my driving style was too harsh. ive calmed down a lot since then. driving around Long Island and NYC can get really aggravating and is extremely destructive to brakes and transmissions.

The legend calipers I got from davesdiscountautoparts.com. It was 99.64$ for both including free shipping and core charge. Part numbers are frc10627 and frc10628.if you get them you have to put the right on the left and left on the right. You use the tl mounting bracket and use rotors and pads for the tl also
