Default ROtors

I saw some nice looking rotors from a company in LA. See I told ya...You get to upgrade as well. Now the question is if you want drilled,slotted, or cross drilled and slotted. There is always that debate. Have fun searching. I just bought a BBK instead.

Drilled rotors suck. These are IS F Brembo rotors from the front. Slotted is OK, but plain is best.

I want drilled bc they look good. I will never track this car other then some thursday night drag racing once in a while, which won't take a toll on the brakes or crack them. I recall lobux's rotors cracked after a few autocross track days.

Those pictures scare me.

I myself don't drive my car hard but I wonder how the owner before me drove for the 8 months he/she had him.

Your answer is in the post a few above yours-

Personally I agree with you, it's not worth the shortened pad life and eventual risk of cracking, but to some folks apparently it is.
