Damn... Can't make up my mind... Oh well!



Amazing what you can do with a DREMEL.... J/K!

 

Personally, I'd go w/ the slotted.

 

you choose

 

and

 

Heard about people having problems with drilled but have yet to see it with my previous 4 sets of crossdrilled...

Am I pressing my luck? Don't think that's to do with it as it is knowing how to take care of them...

 

i got the slotted/cross drilled silver plated rotors, will install with in 2 weeks.

 

sprint, i guess they arent that great huh?? or is it because of them being drilled??

 

not all x-drilled rotors will crack like that. 9 times out of 10 the cracking is due to improper treatment especially during the break-in period...

 

are you saying i am irresponsible? those came off my carrera 4.. and they were broken in perfectly

 

Doesn't matter what car it came from...

Aside from break-in... you still need to take care of them (or any other rotor for that matter).

Improper torquing of the lugnuts, spraying them with water when they are still hot, improper cool down, etc...

 

DAMN!!! Those are Wilwood brakes!!!! Gotta get me a set of those.

 

I have a question for those guys that have their x-drilled or slotted rotors creck. What type of pads do you use? Are they performance pads, or stocks, pepboys, or something else. I have heard that if you don't use performance pads on slotted or x-drilled rotors then they will crack, as well with proper break in that is crucial.

 

I not sure about cracking caused by the use of 'non performance' pads... I don't see the logic behind that claim. However, the majority of the 'increased' performance can be obtained by just the install of good 'hi performance' brake pads.

Crossdrilling is mostly for weight savings and (as SprintMax pointed out) more suspectible to cracking if 'abused'. Slotting is more resistant to cracking and has a higher thermal load limit (vs. crossdrilling but not vs. nondrilled/nonslotted). Both are mostly for visual impact.

 

Well I have yet to see any cracks on my rotors. I just looked while cleaning my rims. Not 1 of all 4 have a crack. I did follow the directions on the manuel from stillen. I have had the breaks for more then a year now, just about 14 months. I had to change the Stilen pads after about 8 months cause they were completely gone. That just shows how hard I do run my car. After those went out I went ahead and bought the Poterfield brake pads. So far so good for those pads. As you see in the pic no prob.

Carrera 4 eh ... you know they are cryo-treated and if that happens porsche will take the brakes back... and i know you know this maaaaannnnnn ! not to sure but from the pic it doesnt look like the 14.1 inches that they normally are , but thats just me

 

are you calling me a liar?

 

He has a Carrera 4, its parked right next to my 959.

 

do you have a pic of your 959?

 

Taken three months ago.

 

Nice almost as nice as my ferrari

 

Why thank you, your car is purdy too.

 

yeah.. its quick.. but just not as exotic as my ferrari

 

You can buy a Ferrari in the US, I haven't seen a 959 on these shores. I win.

 

I own a Skyline too.. and you can't buy them here ither

 

But alot of people have them. Check the May 2001 issue of Sport Compact Car.

 

i have seen a 959 in Greenwich

when was the last time you SAW a Skyline?

i see that.. my carrera 4, my ferrari and my skyline every day in my underground garage

 

u have a bently too rite?? of course.. those are pimp.

 

nah.. i am still saving up though .. one day .. one day

 

Sprint, didn't yo mama teach you that you have to own it for it to be called yours? The cars outside in the garage are the grownups cars, and the silver thing that rides on rails is yours.

 

you are really starting to bore me now medicsonic

 

Blow me. Won't happen again. Drilled or slotted?
