cross drilled rotors will crack, slotted rotors are fine

Yes there red. The kit was from landspeed racing it was the sport kit ( 2 rotors, and pads). The racing kit has 4 rotors, pads, and stainless steel brake lines. Sport kit was 200 and the race kit was like 425. Powerstop powerslot rotors and pbr pads. I checked on the warping issue. The slotted and drilled rotors can warp more easily because of the lower amount of actual metal in the rotor. Although you can warp any rotor if you really try.

what prompted you to get this "kit"? I mean, outside of the better pads, you won't really see an improvement in braking distances...

You could have just as easily bought some Hawk HP Plus brake pads, turned the rotors and had great braking? Just curious on the decision.

yea summit is trying to sell you the rotors they aren't gonna say that the warp quicker and crack easier?

IMO i'd stay away from the cross drilled not needed at the speeds your going to be going... especially with the pads your runnin'. As far as slotted...eh

the better the caliper / pad the better the braking the lines make a significant difference if you go that far.
