if you're gonna do cross drilled do zimmerman- they're one of the only brands that are baked after they're drilled so they're stronger or someshit and pads axis is it

and what do you mean cross drilled doesn't do ----? they don't put them on the s55 for no reason.....

They don't really do a lot unless your roters get mad hot wich they shouldnt unless your in a race type situation.

if you've ever been going 110-120+ and get on the brakes, they heat up instantly with blank rotors and start to 'wobble', cross drilled/slotted rotors may not be the best for the longevity of your pads, but they make a hell of a difference in venting out all of the heat from hard braking i like hawk pads also, axxis are good but give off hella dust :P

kain, please stop talking out your *** for christ sake. I could see lemans not using corss drilled/slotted brakes to extent their use, but they do use them, so you're wrong again. http://www.agequipment.co.uk/le-mans_2004/html/3.html.

and in the faster classes, they use carbon/carbon brakes, which means the disc and pads are all carbon and designed to wear together, although these are not slotted/crossdrilled these will not work on a street application, so you can't compare them to normal brakes. http://www.gm.com/company/gm_exp_liv...e00001WFC.html
