For those of you using the cobra brake upgrade kit, which set of rotors did you go with? Cross drilled & slotted or slotted only? I've seen some research that say's the cross drilled may weaken the integrity of the rotor. Anyone have any factual evidence this might be the case?

I have both cross drilled and slotted. No problem here. Car stops much better than stock. When I do the rear Cobra conversion i'm gonna go with a set all the way around from Bear just so it matches.

Plain rotors perform the best.

If anything, get slotted only rotors as they have some performance benefit, but not much.

Crossdrilled look awesome, but they don't really do much other than lighten the rotor (mass helps disappate heat so they tend to crack easier)
