Please post pics of your Aftermarket rotors, state the brand and price and place you bought them. Also what pads are you using and what difference in braking have you experienced.

Thanks

 

nobody has aftermarket rotors...

 

hey man sry I dont have any pics....but ive been researching brakes for the last few weeks.....x-drilled and slotted really do crack.....brembo blanks is what im purchasing very soon and Ive found that these are some of the best....Brembo blanks cant go wrong and axxis ultimate pads

 

ive had my BREMBO cross drilled/slotted rotors for about a year now with no premature pad wear or cracking at all. the braking power is SOOO much better over stock blank rotors in moderate to heavy braking. under normal braking though, i have noticed a little more effort is needed to brake because of the less surface area the pad has to grip. but man oh man these things have yet to show any sign of brake fade in the least. I usually drive fairly spirited around the city and with my old blank rotors, i would get significant fade but thats eleminated now.

be sure that the slotting/cross drilling is done from the manufacturer or from a reputable company because improper drilling can and probably will lead to cracking and premature pad wear (although ive only heard of one person that i can recall who had a cracked rotor).

im going to take some new pics of my car tomorrow after i wash it, and ill take some pics of the rotors.

btw, i got them from ebay for i think about $150. the company i bought them from was something like brakes usa or something like that. they cross drilled/slotted them themselves and they had 100% positive feedback and offered a 1 year warranty against cracking. too bad i dont remember the exact ebay seller name. they did a good job.

 

the reason i want to see pics is because i would like to know if drilled only has more holes in it than the drilled/slotted in place of where the slots are.
