The only reason I would buy cross drilled rotors would be if I didn't track my car. I do, so I won't buy them. I'll stick with what works for actual racing applications. Not what looks good on the street. Not what impresses the local band of fart can, large wing, and primired body kit car drivers.

So basiclly if u autoX ur car, if u let the brakes cool between runs you shouldnt have to worry bout brade fad on stock rotors (blanks)? Or will u still get brake fade say after maybe 10 runs, but letting the brakes kool down each time?

Uprated pads and standard discs are what you need.


This has already been covered in the 'Rotors upgrade' thread. Search for it. I have attached a file there too.

If you don't think I know what I'm talking about, my car will out brake a Ferrari F430 by 4 metres from 100kph-0.
