I agree. Just make sure you do not put better pads in the rear otherwise your car will be tail happy when you are turning in and breaking. Won't the cross drillled rotors kill the life of the pads? I have heard they are not as good as what people think they are, and to just get slotted rotors.ludesrv said:Too be honest, just getting KVR cross drilled rotors and hawk pads made my car brake with a world of difference over the stock ones. Very impressed with just better quality parts in the factory braking system.
Thats what ive heard as well, the cross drilled will crack over time. All you need is the sloted.george34 said:I have heard they are not as good as what people think they are, and to just get slotted rotors.
I want cross drilled because I paid 30$ per rotor for brand new KVR cross drilled. I had slotted on my Prelude and I absolutely hated them. You could feel the slot hit in the brake pedal at lower speeds. Very annoying. I love cross drilled and I wouldn't never buy slotted. But again, that's all user preference. They offer the same cooling potential with less surface area missing.SETI20 said:When you are not upgrading sizewise, you don't want cross drilled discs.
You want to loze even more surface than you have? Those discs are tiny enough as it is.
Agreed. Slotted and or drilled only comes into effect if you're doing a lot of hard breaking (like in autoX). They don't help you stop any faster. The slots are for cooling faster... however you don't want to rotor to get too cool as it doesn't brake as well. So spending money to cool faster when you're not going to break again untill the next stoplight (at which time even stocks would be cooled) is just silly.mattminerDOTcom said:i defintely would advise against cross drilled, if for only that they provide no benefit and decrease the brake surface area.
hawk pads are excellent though. those and bremo blanks give you a world of stop for not alot of money.

Even in auto-x I would still not buy drilled rotors. I will never have them on my dd/auto-xed crx.drnknmnky13 said:Agreed.

Unless you want to increase diameter and/or get new calipers... just get better pads and call it a day.
Now if you'll be autox-ing... please disregard what I said![]()
