Re: aftermarket brake discs

["George Turner, Jr." <getone@mediaone.net>]

Personally...
I would stay away from cross drilled rotors.. especially if you drive your
car hard.  Cross drilled rotors have a tendency to crack from the actual
drilling..it is much different if the rotors are *cast* with the holes..
which technically does not make them *cross drilled*.  I would opt for
slotted rotors.  Velocity sells a brembo slotted rotor kit for @$200.  now
if you do not drive your car hard, never attempt to race it, or engage in
any unsafe acts.. basically any rotor will do.. you can go with Ate's for
all that matters... but if you do just the opposite with your car... I
highly suggest SLOTTED instead of *cross drilled*
