just look at those, and then looking at my dads drilled rotors, they drilled too many holes... those to me seem like they would crack really easy on the last hole...

just get rotors from CK... he'll hook it up!

to expand... rotors that have holes drilled after they are cast are prone to crack in between the holes. Yes they look better but it is a safety concern..

Ive had issues with Ebay rotors warping more than anything else. I think its safe to assume those rotors as cheaply made and adding that in with what CK said about the drilling, I imagine the quality is very low. I would just spend the extra cash and get Powerslots or OEM. I will be purchasing OEM rotors very soon as mine are terribly warped.

Edit: Forgot to mention I have noticed no increase in braking performance with drilled rotors.

depends what Ebay ones you get, I got some slotted ones off ebay (all 4) and they have held up for over 2 years now no problem.....granted they were not that cheap I payed over $200 for them, hell they might be name brand im really not sure, but the ones you posted look too cheap I would think those would crack in a month or two of DD use.

Sorry, but I have yet to see ANY crossdrilled rotors that are NOT prone to cracking. The performance increase is NOT worth the safety risk.

It's a stupid fad that anyone in the know will laugh at.

Slotted rotors on the other hand DO work, and are not prone to failure.

many high end cars come stock with drilled rotors... It has to do with the quality in most cases. For most cars stock blanks are more than good enough, and usually better than most of the aftermarket choices.

I had Drilled and slotted Brembo's for about 2 years before the started cracking around the holes.

Now I'm just running OEM Brembo's with really good brake pads.

Poodles, the Enzo, Veyron, FFX, and upcoming ZR-1 all use cross drilled rotors.

When they are properly cast as 'drilled' rotors, there is no cracking issue. The problem is when a normal rotor is drilled out, it becomes a weak point.

I've gotta search for it, but I've seen pics of cracked porsche rotors before.

I stand by my views that it's a "fad," much like huge heavy wheels that decrease performance. The auto makers build what people want.

NASCAR uses slotted as does quite a few other racing bodies...

just the front ones do not mount on the EUDM turbo supras (too small) :)

either way, they are made by brembo ;) (look at their side and you'll see brembo signs and name all over them)

I have ebay rotors in the rear, and I just cant complain, they have lasted more then a dozen of burn-outs while almost glowing red :)
