I've looked fruitlessly..

I found Cross drilled rotors,
I found Sloted rotors..

but for some reason I can not FIND crossdrilled and Sloted rotors.

Thanks..

 

Do they "have" to be drilled? You can get Slotted and "Dimpled" rotors here:

otherwise:

ebay has some crappy ones...im running them now until i buy some nice blanks

 

Can you tell me the differnce, pros and cons between Dimpled and drilled rotors??

Can you use BIGGER Rotors with stock calipers?

 

What's your reasoning for wanting cross drilled AND slotted? Looks, performance?

 

TO be totally honest..

Both..

I recently got a single turbo conversion with Mazdaspeed kit
along with my 19" rims...

The Rotors looks so small and out of place.. I figure I upgrade them
since t hey are the original rotors that came with teh car... I am sure
they are probably at its limits. I have had them spun twice.

With all the power I am getting with the SINGLE.. I feel the need to start
working on my Stopping power.. and Right now a BIG Brake KIT isn't
in th budget..

 

Slotting or drilling will not improve braking performance in any way (drilling actually reduces it). Actually, a bigger brake kit is not going to do anything to shorten your stopping distances. The tires stop the car, not the brakes.

And no, you can't run bigger rotors with the stock calipers, unless they are modified (Mandeville).

 

^^ I agree. Cross drilled rotors are useless in this day and age.

 

There is an ongoing thread about crossdrilled slotted rotors down the page or on the second page I believe DamonB started it.... take a look at that.

It's in the archives here


...and there's no debate. It's fact vs. fiction

 

Slingshot, if you're still interested in crossdrilled & slotted rotors, try GothamRacing. I got my brembo rotors from them, crossdrilled & slotted, and I had them cryotreated while I was at it. All from Gotham. You can even choose whether you want straight or curved slots. www.gothamracing.com
