Next question: Can any of you tell me if they personally have (or know someone that has) cracked a rotor that was slotted/drilled? Those that have the Z1-proffered drilled/slotted rotors attest to their composition quality?

I'm just trying to make an educated decision on the mod.

Thanks for your input.

I have slotted rotors. From what I understand, cross-drilled rotors have a tendency to crack. That's not something I would want to risk.

I believe slotting and drilling are about keeping the rotors cool in extreme conditions, but I could be wrong.
