    when using Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors , breaking will be a bit better. Does that mean brake pads will wear out quicker ?

    I dont know what size or brand your using,but if they are the same size as stock I wouldnt expect much.I got some from Ebay,they look nice but braking isnt really any better.Still more fade than I would like to have.However,I love the way they look.Make sure to paint your calipers,youll love it!!!

    Oh yeah,BTW I would use Hawk pads.They work well with those rotors.

    if my car was red , then painting the calipers will work great . But my car is dark gray so it wont really look too good

    I did baer drilled and slotted rotors, SS lines and ebc green pads and my braking improved a bit but more than anything the pedal feels rock solid now compared to the soft spongy feeling it had before.
    Im sure that was more from the SS lines than the rotors and pads.

    1st off i'd like to add the fact that Cross Drilled rotors are bad. :nonono: The drilling through the rotors makes the rotors enherently weaker and will not last as long and are not optimal for high-stress braking. What you want is ONLY Power Slotted rotors, as the power slotting allows for brake gases to be released for optimal breaking, while still not compromising the integrity of the rotors.

    Sure the Cross dilled & power slotted rotor combo LOOK nicer, but i wouldn't ever get them.
