Rotor Hell

Im looking at the Brembo rotors and I dunno what to get! Can someone help me decide on which kind to get? I know the drilled oens are easier to cool down.. but are not as strong... Or maybe I got that backwords...

I was looking at the stillen site checking out break lines and it said "When combined with cross drilled rotors, high performance brake pads and high quality brake fluid, the difference in stopping power and brake feel is impressive" hmmmmmmm....

Stillen is just trying to make a sale..true having all those three is a good route but its up to you if you have the cash. Most people go with cross drilled and sloted on the org it does infact cool better. Alot of the guys that road race their max go with just the slotted because cross drilled has been known to crack under intense driving. Which i doubt you do, or do you..

go to the group deal section Jason is having a GD on Brembo rotors,brake pads and SS lines...jump on these and you will be on your way.

Look at hte current GD for Brembo rotors, they are Zinc plated too. It is very cheap right now. Get the rotors, pads, and the SS lines.
I believe AuToMaX95 is the seller.

slotted are okay. they don't have cracking problems. drilled tend to have cracking problems. sometimes they last for years with certain people, other times they crack in a few months....
slotted don't really have that kind of problem. go for them and you should be okay.
