from what ive read, alot of peoples cross drilled tend to crack sooner than stock...

and most people use them for autox'ing or high hp cars who really need the stopping power when needed...

most cross drilled are alot bigger than stock and will need bigger rims for proper fitment. if you havent already gotten rims.

& you only need to switch the knuckle if your doing a drum/disc conversion

if im wrong correct me please.

 

Hey, if you need to replace your rotors, just get Brembo blanks and some good pads. That's all you need.

-you can get cross drilled or slotted rotors that are stock replacements.

 

cross drilled crack faster?????

 

basically since i dont do any autocross or even run the car for that matter all i want is the ability to stop faster and better.... just so you know i have 17s on the car.

those brembo blanks..... do they come in slotted?

 

they are aftermarket. try powerslot.com? also brembo makes some crossdrilled rotors that are a stock replacement too. guessing brembo.com?

 

honestly the blanks are half the price, and the crossdrilled rotors are really unnecessary. they do look kinda cool though.

 

I believe (speak up if you have any other experience) that the cross drilled rotors that crack are either cheap knock off rotors or ones done by people themselves. I haven't heard of any brembo cross drilled rotors cracking.

But if you get bigger rotors, remember that you'll need different calipers also...many things will need to be replaced besides just the rotor at that point.
