SS Brake Line + Brake Pad + Rotor Installed~

What do you guys not understand about "I'm not going to argue with you?"

My most compelling reason for "hating" cross-drilled rotors is simply having seen with my own two eyes far too many of them CRACKED at track events. Given the choice between driving on a race track with a rotor that's likely to crack and one that isn't, I'm going to choose the one that isn't. I'm funny that way.

Y'all can continue arguing amongst yourselves.

I'm still debating/arguing, because I respect your opinion, and have drilled rotors. I come off snide, but that's just to make it fun For the race track, you are probably right. But for street or auto-x use, I really do think they dump heat faster(leading to better brake performance and longer lasting pads and rotors), clear dust, are slightly lighter, and yes - they look better. Plus you can get a pair for $110 from garm, or one stock rotor for $96 from the dealer. I think they are the best bang for the buck rotors for performance and longevity. As far as cracking, I'll never put as much heat in to them as fast as I did when I bed my pads again. If they took that they should be good.

I would be interested in some hard testing of the same rotor, same car, drilled and not, infrared thermometer mounted in the wheel well. Surely with some companies making claims of 200 degrees in difference there would be some, but I'm finding it extremely hard to find.
