Just go slotted if not simply blanks. xdrilled crack. Try www.groupbuycenter.com for good deals on brembo.

^ i've been through 2 sets of crossdrilled/slotted before i learned my lesson.. they crack easily under heat and just make for a weaker rotor. originally those holes were made to dissipate heat as well as toxic gasses let off from the pads that (used to be) made out of a different compound.

now that technology has advanced... daily driven brakes don't heat up to the point where it's needed... and pads are now made of a different compound that doesn't release the gas.

not to mention the cheese-grater factor

brembo blanks, or MAYBE slots (for asthetics alone)

heh T-I info it might be, but it's still true.

also, be weary of those "Brembo slotted and cross-drilled" rotors...Brembo makes blanks, slotted, and drilled rotors, but no slotted/drilled. Any time you see that, it's where ppl either buy the blanks and etch the slots and drill the holes, or buy slotteds and drill them out, which greatly weakens the rotor.

forgot to mention that part...

xdrilling weakens the rotor and gives you less surface area

slotting gives you less surface area

since stopping is all about surface area ... why not go for a full face (non drilled/slotted) rotor. (unless this is a track only car)



rotora makes a good blank... as does brembo
