The deal is crossdrilled rotors tend to crack around the holes.

Dimpled and slotted is the way to go.


Not if they're drilled before casting lol.gif

um... no. You are thinking of Porsche and Ferrari. Those are rotors are NOT drilled at all, but the holes are cast into the rotor.

I did want to point something out here that I noticed. They showed the dual master cylinder set up, While perfect for these brakes and they will give great feel... they do not have a provision for the vacuume assist. If you get them you will be looking at a ROCK HARD pedal at all times that you will need to put some pressure on to stop the car.

Do not get me wrong, I prefer my brakes that way, but I wanted everyone else to know this too. If you have never driven a car with fully manual brakes, you are in for a surprise.

Drilled before casting? Cut out the retarded comments.

Pro, I'm in for a set for SURE.

Very very nice, and since they are pre cut at US Brakes, shouldn't be any problems.
