It's clear I've crewed for professional road racing teams for the past 6 years. Find me a RACE CAR with cross drilled rotors. Read the fine print, cross drilled rotors ARE NOT for track events or performance driving.Originally Posted by btstone
Would you like to see what happens on the track when a cross drilled rotor fails? Would you like to know why they are not legal in every race series known to man?
Watch the rearview mirror on the 2nd lap coming out of turn 7 @ 2 min 50 seconds:

That's what happens when a cross drilled rotor cracks and comes apart sending the car into the outside wall putting the Porsche's driver in a coma.
Send an e-mail to the PRESIDENT of Brembo and see what his take on cross drilled rotors are. It's purely cosmetic and puts money in his pocket from fools like you.
Less mass equals more heat, period. Do you think drilling holes in the heat sink of a computer is going to make it more efficient? lol! They were originally designed for the release of gases when pads were made out of asbestos decades ago so the caliper could operate properly. In case you haven't noticed, pads don't have asbestos in them anymore.
Not only did you put cross drilled rotors on but they are solid steel too. Weight savings = Zero. Bling = Zero. Let's see that Corvette rocking a 2-piece rotor with an aluminum hat and a real caliper. There's a reason why you can buy OEM Z06 brakes sets for $400 complete on eBay all day long. Who's the dumbass now?
