thank you for your comments

 

you mean "brake" pads

 

Do not buy cross drilled. If you want performance rotors purchase yourself some slotted discs. Cross drilling almost always ends up with microscopic cracks around the holes which become hot pockets and can cause the rotor to warp and or become larger cracks. Just my .02 cents.

 

If he buys cross drilled, they WILL be "break" pads. :lol:

 

i have hawk performance ceramic pads i love them

 

My crossdrilled back rotors cracked.... buy slotted.

 

In terms of performance

Plain faced > Slotted > cross-drilled.


Slotted rotors do have the added benefit of using the slots to "wipe" brake dust from the surface of the rotor, but the added mass of a plain rotor allows it to disperse heat better.

On a street car, it's not really going to matter much. But just don't fall into the crowd that beleives drilling holes in your rotors makes it stop better.

 

Maybe not, but it looks cool.

 

I agree. I have a set, but i also have a set of plain faced versions for Autocross days

(on my mustang not the g35)

 

You can always buy drilled rotors and just get large enough ones so they don't crack. 15" seems to do the trick.

 

I'd go with the Racing Brake 1 pc rotors for the 05+ 12.6" rotors. Quality and almost as light as the 11.5" 03 rotors. But that's just me

 

if you want stoptech rotors, opt for the centric rotors as centric owns and produces stoptech rotors, yet they are significantly cheaper than stoptech branded rotors. this is if you go with plain faced oem sized rotors.

 

I've been happy with these EBC 3GD Sport Rotors; they're dimpled and slotted, not drilled. Work well with the redstuff pads.
