Cross drilled rotors?
Has anyone bought the cross drilled rotors from Shark Racing yet? My stockers are warped to beat hell and I'm thinking of upgrading. I want to know how they perform and hold up to punishment. Ha Ha Ha.
Thanks in advance everyone!

And how difficult are they to install?
I was told over at fxtreme that Random said something once about the difficulty of installing new rotors, or did a step by step or something.
I have the 2nd gen, so how difficult would it be and are the brakepads and rotors the same for front/back?
I heard that the front were ventilated, and the rear weren't. But does that still mean I can't put the drilled and slotted on the rear also?

HEY
We have already talked about that.
If you have captive rotors its a bit difficult to change your rotors.(4 bolts plus 4 lug studs).
If you have on your wheel stand 4bolts plus 2 small screws you have non-captive rotors.Very easy to swap.
In both cases if you have warped rotors you should change them.
Prsonally i am planning to buy the big brake system of SR and i am saving money for it.
I suppose you can put ventilated in the rear,it would be no problem though.If you also put stainless steel brake lines you will sure have a very good braking sysyem.
(BEWARE)If you have ABS dont put stainless steel brake lines because whenever you touch the pedal it will engage and aftert awhile your ABS system will sure have a big big problem!!!!!!!!

I believe Chris H over at FxTreme bought the SR units and installed them himself. He has pics of both the stock and the SR ones. Ask either him, Random, or Yam and they could better help out with your questions.

Cross drilled rotors don't heat as fast as the stock ones. So you don't have to worry about them warping as much like the stockers. The SR big brake system is basically just that...bigger brakes, so it helps you slow down alot quicker. Definitly a good thing to have! wink.gif

From what it sounded like, Chris H had some trouble with his big brake kit though, but I know he had captive rotors also. So on the 2nd gens with the non-captive how difficult would the big brake kit be to install?
That's a front wheel only kit too isn't it?
