<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carbotecheng.com">www.carbotecheng.com</a><!-- w --> - call and ask for Matt, tell him that RJ sent you. They're good people. Bobcat is what you want for the street, along with cheap autozone plain rotors and some superblue.

hook me up with more info on why drilled-slotted rotors are CRAP? why does porsche use them? why do most aftermarket brake kits like stoptech come with them?
They work fine up to a point, but they are more expensive and they will fail sooner with hard use and/or abuse (i.e. small brakes with lots of power) - the cracks and drilled holes are really good stress risers for cracks to form from.

Porsche uses them for improved wet braking performance - or so their literature says. Stoptech sells them for the bling, but if you read their white papers they say that for track use to stay away from them. You will see enduro or rally cars running with slotted rotors, in long races they can keep the pads from glazing but this comes at the expensive of increased pad wear.
