what do u guys think of drilled rotors. only about 150 bucks, off ebay, and i think theyd really set the car apart. but what about quality? are they worth it? what do u all think...

They will crack. You will have to spend a lot of money to fix destroyed stuff. You will wish you had never bought them...

I wouldnt get those, if you want them get a top brand name like brembo or baer. I've had my Baer Slotted/Drilled/Zinc Coated rotors on for over a year and there are no cracks.

It all depends on if the rotors are actually drilled or if the holes are cast in the rotors during the manufacturing process.

Drilled = bad
Cast=good

It also depends on your driving, cause they always seem to say don't use cross drilled in road racing. I would check out the power slots website they have a series of rotors that have dimples that give the appearance of cross drilling.

I agree with this post. Cheap is cheap..get quality brand name or pass.My Baers are 14 months old and going strong.

The problem with the drilled rotors is that they are made to release the brake gas to help reduce brake fade....but the trade off is the holes make the rotor weaker... So I would not buy a cheap set of drilled rotors, if I went drilled you need quality parts.

The ones on Ebay are pretty much made in china. I have a couple of friends that have them and have had no problems at all (we do a little track every once in awhile). I use Hawk rotors and I cant' really tell the difference between the cheapo's and mine. They wear the same using Hawk HPS pads.

It's your money, spend it the way you want...
