/\ don't do it, you will def wind up cracking them first time you really go out on the track.



/\ this x1000.
Thank you. I will not cross drill. But will use stock rotors due to low price.

RE: Are your brake ducts being fed into the center of the rotor? If so, you really should change from stock rotors as directional rotors would really benefit from your existing brake ducts. But then again the stockers are not bad by themselves either.

Yes they are. Buying better rotors will be in my future, but trying to figure out price vs effectiveness is confusing. Stock are cheap and will not kill me.
