Size of do It can create stress cracks in the rotors unless you drill it right, chamfer the holes, and re-heat treat them??? Cross drilled rotors will also greatly increase the wear of the brake pads

reasons not to do it: because it's often the wrong thing to do? you didn't say why you want to drill, so you get the whole lecture. folks often drill rotors thinking they'll cool better. actually, th

You saved me the trouble. This "drilled-rotor" mania mystifies me. In the unlikely event that gas fading is really a huge problem in your life, grooving the pad has many advantages, not the least of

Yeah, don't do it. It sounds as if you are trying to upgrade your brake performance. I'll assume you are referring to a street car. This is something I wrote about "upgraded" street braking for anoth

I read through the other responses but am replying here. Cross drilling is basically for weight savings, but doesn't make much of a difference on a street or even race car, motorcycle it is a differe

Not quite true. If you walk in to an Autozone and ask for PF pads, they often have the lowest grade called Street Pads on the shelf. Still a good pad, but not the one I was raving about. You want the

It helps operation in the rain, for motorcycles. For cars, not much use. The drilling increases the cooling area of the rotor, but the increase is almost meaningless compared to the rate the pads pum
