Get your SubZero Cryoed Rotors here - SportCompactValue.com

They never rust! And make a cool sound when you stop

Subzero's have been great no problems at all. The same brakes are used on many of the full race prepped cars that race over at Sebring and all around.

Exactly why I dont reccomend drilled rotors


hOLY fACCK These rotors are just waiting to crack...Why does a rotor need that many holes. Thats just a brake failure waiting to happend.





If you want good looking rotors but want to keep the durability of OEM go
slotted only....

I wanted to post something about cross drilling and cracking under hard use, but didn't have any pictures to back me up.

Not everyone is going to get their rotors as hot as you did, but I would *still* shy away from cross drilling. There are safer ways to cool the rotors, and slots do a better job of removing the gasses.

I like the look of cross drilling, but not the risks.

I maybe wrong but I feel that slotted/cross-drilled rotors which claim to be an OEM replacement are just gimmicky and are purely for looks. Only way to ensure real braking improvements is through a full brake kit like Wilwood, Brembo, Spoon etc.

Good read.

This part was pretty funny:

"(remember Einstein: Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is converted)"

Anybody else see anything wrong with that?
