the cross drill or slotted rotor wont do any help to improve your brake system unless you are really RACING or AUTO Crossing

normal city drive , OEM is way to go

paying $125 each rotor for brembo or $185 for KVR each rotor is not worth it at all

I would say change the brake FUILD line to steel or alumimum one will give you way a lot improvment

and EBC Brake Pad

for me though, wanting slotted/cross drilled rotors is mostly an aesthetic thing. It just looks freakin' bad ***. I was thinkin' just save up some cash, buy the JIC suspension, some MOMO rims, and a big brake kit.

the only reason I want cross drilled isn't just for looks . I know that about the braking but little do you know that with slotted/cross drilled your rotor stays cool because of a sucktion effect because the force of the wheel sping ... Also your rotor doesn't get that glare caused by the brake pad dust since the rotor has holes or slots so there is a little knowlage if you didn't know ....but that my .02 cents




but I do have a point

The KVR crossdrilled rotors are $179 a pair. The Brembo cross drilled & slotted rotors are $125ea. Steel braided brakes lines do improve the feel of the brake pedal by making it firmer, but they do not improving stopping distance. I do think the improvement in pedal feel is worth it, and I have them on my car. If staying with the stock sized rotors and stock calipers, changing the stock brake pads will make the biggest difference of any brake component. Cross drilled or slotted rotors may help with brake fade, depending on how you drive, and the conditions you drive in.

If you really think drilled rotors improve performance, I suggest you open the following page and scroll down to the last question.

http://www.baer.com/faq.shtm

This company is one of the world's top manufacturers of REAL race car brake systems, so they know what they're talking about. If you want to improve braking, get good pads, brake fluid and tires. Leave the drilled rotors to the show cars
