Default Drilled/slotted brake rotors

I remember a while back, a member posted here that he was selling drilled and slotted brake rotors for a good price. I'm trying to find that thread but for some reason, the search feature isn't working for me. Does anyone know that link or can that member post here so I can get in contact with him/her?

TIA everyone.

Prepare to have the fury of Greg's hatred of cross-drilled rotors be unleashed upon you.

cross drilled rotors suck... i had to replace my rear bremebos on the miata today. i had slotted/drilled rotors. where do u think it cracked? right in the midle of a drilled hole.

slotted are the way to go.. unless you can get dimpled

altho.. my M coupe came with drilled rotors. that thing would stop like a mutha fawker.. and they look cool.. but id rather sacrifice that 5% extra breaking power for a 200% longer lasting rotor.

No need to vent a hood if your not boosted with turbo..... And if you went turbo I would say get aftermarket vented cf hood and keep the OEM just that!!! OEM!!!!!

Vented stock hoods are a in my book because.......... well they simply just don't look all that great for what it cost.





Oh and WHEN it's time for brakes, just stick with OEM pads & get slotted rotors. Let's face it, how often you gonna track your car? You might as well just get bbk for what your gonna spend on upgraded pads and rotors.


GL on this David

Exactly.


THERE IS NO BENEFIT TO DRILLED ROTORS OTHER THAN WEIGHT REDUCTION.

Heating and stopping power will be LESS.
