you obiviously did not read the link.
crossdrilling is rice. it serves no purpose in the world except to look cool. Rotors are heat sinks. when you reduce the mass of the rotor by drilling, turning, or even by simply useing it and having material wear away, you reduce the effectiveness of the heat sink. when you drill a rotor you also create stress risers, which will untimately lead to cracks in the rotor, which may lead to complete failure.
My purpose for responding to this post is to insure that anyone concerned with the reliable performance of their brakes does not waste their money on drilled rotors.
drilled rotors are for show cars.

oh naw i read the post haha. im just saying. i've been told by my teachers that they do work. if you do it and use it right. granted they do have disadvantages they do have there advantages you give some you take some. and i agree you dont have to go spend the money to buy these rotors. stock ones work just fine. just put hash marks in them and some nice ass aftermarket pads and call it a day.

The store that you are thinking of is Bap Geon....they sell PBRs there. I just replaced mine w/ those, best pads i ever driven with. Got 'em all around for 75 bucks.
