are you trying to do a big brake upgrade with 2 piston caliper or just better rotors with good pads?

i would say

Brembo blanks if have more money to spend go with brembo slotted, DONT GET CROSSDRILLED
-get endless vita nuova pads or aem pads for a bit better over stock
-use valvoline synthetic fluid or ATE super blue

I have heard, that crossdrilled can get stress cracks in them from being hot cycled so much? Is this why? This is only what I heard.

Personally, i would just get some aggresive pads a call it a day. Cobalt Friction GT Sports . And just get some ATE SuperBlue 200 fluid. For rotors the autozone blanks will do just fine.

You will see a huge difference with this setup and will save tons of money.

yes autozone blanks work well, ali = 1337

also what pittsburg seahawks guy said is right, crossdrilled or even slotted are more likely to break when undress stress and extreme temperatures. bascially drive nascar for like 20 miles break hard like 80-0 a few times then but some ice cold water on your cd rotoraand see what happens. (lol i dono im curious )

ive had stock size cross drilled brembo rotors on my DA for over a year now. no cracks, no problems. with ceramic pads, that was the best mod i did to my integra. i bought all 4 rotors and ceramic pads for 225 shipped. it is true that cross drilled rotors crack sometimes, but its not a sure thing.

Also, a lot of these compaies that sell these cross-drilled brembo rotors for incredible prices aren't really selling true brembo cross-drilled rotors. I remember reading on here a few times that these companies purchase brembo blanks and drill them themselves. I belive a way to tell is by the packaging, but i don't remember how the packaging goes for the reals and fakes.
