Thanks for head up. I'm planning to get slotted rotors. I heard that cross drilled ones are prone to cracking. Any truth to that?

yes, it will crack over time.

however, it also depends on what brand. the brembo cross drilled rotors for example do not crack as far as i've seen or heard. but the benefits are defenitely good which is much more cooling than slotted rotors

im also sure cross drilled are safer nowadays than they used to 3-5 yrs. ago

Is someone smoking crack?*

*From the famous drilled rotors thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...=smoking+crack

There are no benefits to drilling other than looking "cool." I've personally seen drilled Brembo rotors develop cracks, albeit not on a street-driven-only car.
