cross drilled+slotted Rotors

I was going to put some crossed drilled and slotted rotors, but many people are telling me that there not worth it. Why Not?
What the best rotor out there.
I wanted to put them with Hawks hp pads.

reason being....
1-cheese grater effect on bake pads
2-x/d rotors tend to form cracks around the holes which leads to.......

The vets around here will tell you the same, to search, and to just stick with Brembo Blanks. You won't regret it

I had crossdrilled rotors on my last car, and they started to crack around the holes in less than a year. So, blanks has my vote!

OEM has a habit of warping prematurely. Brembos would be your best bet. Irish44j who is an autocross maniac uses/used those for a while with no probs.

Holdup....didn't you post basically this same thread about 4 days ago????

I have not used brembos on the maxima, that I can recall though maybe I'm forgetting...... I'm currently running Kiriu 6th gen rotors (kiriu makes the OEM 6th gen rotors, and they're basically identical). Before that, another set of OEM 6th gen rotors (sold with previous BBK). Before that, OEM 5th gen rotors.

Brembos are good, but I don't feel they're any better than OEM. Also I thought I had explained to you that 90% of people who think they've "warped" their OEM rotors have NOT warped them. They just have uneven pad material buildup due to garbage OEM pads...which will happen on ANY rotor if you use OEM pads.......
