Default Front Rotor Upgrade

I have heat warped my rotors yet again. I would like to get larger cross drilled rotors. Has anybody done these and where did you order form?

Default RE: Front Rotor Upgrade


be careful with cross drilled and slotted rotors. keep in mind that they eat up more break as they have more bite so you will be going through brakes faster than with a flat rotor (stock one). Also, a problem with drilled rotors is that the heat in the rotor is removed quickly thus causing rapid expansion/contraction. As a result, the rotor is highly prone to cracking/splitting (literally, i'm serious... i've seen it numerous times) if stopping under high pressure on them. this is highly noticed in drifting/racing and for those people that brake really hard for whatever reason ever 15 seconds haha.
