For daily driving, they should last a while. Common problems are hairline cracks starting along the holes. I would not recommend them for track use.

I jsut got back from my first drive with a set of powerstop drilled rotors. They work great.

The drilled holes look good, but do nothing for braking. If you like the look, go ahead and buy them.

Slotted rotors or standard would be my choice. Drilled is mostly for looks, if you're not racing at sebring or something. But knock yourself out if you like em.

If you want to read some good Tech on cross drilled/slotted rotors, head on over to Corner-Carvers

This topic has been discussed alot!

My personal view is bling only.

consensus is...just for looks. That's all I needed to know. Thanks for the input.

Pretty much. People simply cashing in on a fad. Even Cheverolet has yanked them off the Z06 due to the crossdrilled holes creating cracks and rotor failures. If the manufacturers can't make them safe what makes you think Jim Bob in the back of his garage is going to make you a better set?
