Maybe you guys should check this tread out...
The bremo X drilled rotors or many rotors for that matter, aren't made x drilled... a shop drilled / machined them to become x drilled rotors...
Basically when brembo made their rotors they never had in mind to turn the basic rotors into x drilled so the alloy is weaker then their alloys used for their bigger brakes like 13" or more that are x drilled. The rotor sizes that are close or equal to OEM, brembo doesn't make x drilled from factory for them

There is virtually no performanmce difference to be gained from using cross drilled rotors unless you are on a race track. You will notice no difference on the street. Save your money for other things would be my advice.

Actually the difference between crossdrilled and non is that they are suppose to release the gas build up between the pad and the disc when it heats up however i have never seen any proof that that actaully works. I would stay with the normal and use a high qual pad and you should be fine. I autocross and i have never had problems not using cross drilled and also if you do use cross drilled for a solo race it moves your car into another class. Just my 2cents someone will probably prove me wrong.

I've got some brembo x drilled on my 87 TII. I'd say that for most people on the street, you don't need these. I used to drive very very hard on the street, and they do help for those times. Think of the most insane street driving you can imagine and you're in the right ballpark. Hauling along at 80 on the interstate on your way to work you won't notice these for one hard stop.

Thanks for the replies...
I wanted to get some new rotors for my car and I wasnt sure what to get. I was thinking of some regular brembo rotors but I dint know if it was worth the extra money to get them slotted or xdrilled. Wheres a good place to get some good regular rotors?

slotted rotor make a big differance, here in NYS my shop does sublet work for the highway patrol and we alway put Napa top line rotor and they were eating them up in 5k so we switch to slotted napa rotors and the service life of the front brake when to 15k per car. so it is my opinion that they will make a huge differance.
