Thanks, folks Great info

A person can sure get some great info and opinions around here.

I love getting both sides of the story rather than just the hype from someone trying to sell ya stuff.

 

The history as I learned it of drilled rotors was to help brakeing under wet conditions and that supposed to be the only advantage of drilled rotors. I used to race superbikes (amateur level) and heard that from a seasoned vet that was my mentor and team mate.we used slotted, but that was on race only street illegal bikes. He previously raced in I think a class called supersport where it was factory bikes prepped for race by yourself and ofcourse those come with drilled oem. he just added steele braided lines to those.

edit: I don't like how I sounded in this reply. Just ment to say this is what I heard drilled rotors are for, someone might have a better explanation. I have seen this subject come up lots and I don't think i have seen anything set in stone. I have talked to a guy claiming to be Repsol Honda's Brembo Rep before and the best pitch I heard was "Mick Doohan likes his Brembo's" in an Austrailian accent.LMAO!

 

If you guys want better stopping, try finding steel braided lines. Last time I checked Brembo is the only people that make them and it's for their kit. I really like Brembo's kit.IMO, I don't think some of you guys that just drive your truck on the street will ever use those to their full potential. Lines and good pads are the more cost effective way to go... unless some cheese head decides to jack up the price cause its for an L.

 

I just got a kit from TCE that uses Wilwood parts. I got SS lines and everything.

 

Those are nice

 

Actually, cross-drilled rotors were invented to eliminate the gas buildup that used to occur at the pad/rotor interface.

Modern pad construction has eliminated this concern. The cross-drilling remains for its effects on both cooling and wet stopping.

And they look so freakin sweet!
