Can't say that I have, this is the first I've heard of them. Maybe a local Canadian company.

nice looking rotors.

Pads I havn't used, just breake them in normal - with a few good hard stops, and see how they feel after a few miles.

Yeah what Dalamar said just break them in normally and see how they feel. How much did you pick up the rotors for ??

"Brakes".. I'd run slotted but never cross drilled.. I've heard of many many people whose have cracked.

I have heard about the crossed drilled cracking to but put about 30k miles on a set of crossed drilled on my other car and no problems.

Sorry about the typo, brain fart. :rolleyes:

I payed 99$. So can't go wrong.

The pads are scorched, so no break in necessary.

that is bogus. some rotors cracked on a RACE car like 8 years ago.
they have fixed that issue.

I've ran drilled/slotted rotors for over 10 years, with no problems.

Yep. Jeff is right.

Drilled/slotted are unlikely to crack on a streetcar. On a serious racecar with consistent track abuse, use blanks.

IMO slotted-drilled rotors=for the show only.

I've heard and seen cracked drilled/slotted rotors.

a few pics i found real quick over an Audi forum:

Brembo, drilled rotor:

Powerslot, slotted rotor:

Now, i believe all or most of the rotor will crack at one point.
plain rotor more likely will last more, depending on the rotor quality of course.
However, i wouldnt pay extra money for some rotors that will crack sooner. :grin:

Wow, that's doesn't look good. You must have to go hard on the brakes for that to occur though.
