Brembo Rotors
I really like the look of drilled and slotted rotors and have been looking into the Brembo, I know that the drilled and slotted rotors don't help stop any better and everyone says that they will crack. I want to hear from people who have experienced this cracking and see how hard they abused their rotors. Mine will just be street use.

I had the same concern before I bought my Wholesale Direct rotors. I'll install them and break them in properly once my car comes back out. My buddy has had some ebay xdrilled/slotted rotors for 6K and a few panic stops. No cracks yet. Only place I've heard of them cracking was online, never actually seen it in person.

I have the EBC Green Stuff pads and rotors. Mine only see street duty and have some hairline cracks at the holes...may 1/4" long or so. I've had mine for close to two years now.

Also, I think someone above posted that they have cracks forming.
Send a PM to Mitchntx, he had a cross drilled rotor "break" on him once.

Im not saying that it never happens its just everyone keeps telling me that they will with just normal street use. I just wanted to hear from someone who cracked them under street use and not race. I don't realy beat on my brakes much.
