we can go back and forth all day... you are missing my point...i never said that they arent more prone to failure....i just said

yes because my argument wasnt that he should do it...my argument was that they do dissipate heat faster....and AMG doesnt have an issue with them cracking...

Cracked rtors don't sound like fun at all. I was leaning more towards some shallow slots as I've got access to a Bridgeport mill where I can make sure the slots are all milled the same depth and at the same angle. Doesn't sound likea great plan. I'll just get some decent pads and install the SST lines and probably get a much improved feel.

Drilling/slotting remove mass from your rotors... so they are not better for heat reasons, either.

"Crossdrilled rotors-by design, crossdrilled rotors were designed for track use. Why? Because, when you drill holes in your rotors, they are designed to dissipate heat (not to rid of brake dust as most people think). "

wow...i read it....maybe you didnt....this is a quote from your post

Wait until MadMatt and Cobra start posting. That's when the brake tech gets serious and NissanLunatic gets pwn3d into the stone age.

but the thing is...your pulling from peoples opinions and i can go to a bunch of other forums and paste what they said too...
i kept my OEM rotors because i like them... as for crossdrilled i obviously cant change your mind...but there is a reason all the high performance exotics have them...and it isnt just for looks
