It's time. I only use my car for regular street type driving. Should I purchase stock replacement rotors like Ray Bestos or some crossed drilled and slotted rotors? Are there any pros and cons to using one or the other on the street?

I would go with Ford (stock) rotors. I like them over the after-market/discount rotors (for a few bucks more).

There are alot of cons with using the cross-drilled/slotted rotors: They tend to crack, the are more expensive, and the use up the brake pad faster. I refuse to use them on the street and on the track.

For regular street duty, you may want to just go with regular replacement rotors. Be sure to check out http://discbrakesrus.com/ and other online vendors for brake goodies...

I don't think they make replacement stock Ford rotors anymore for my car. Unless I have been looking in the wrong places anyway.

I'm going to go with the regular replacement rotors over drilled and slotted ones. Thanks guys!

I used Raybestos replacement rotors and they are awesome. I used them on my 96 cobra. Worth the price.

That's what I ordered. I'm putting them on Saturday night.
