    What about the gasses that buildup between the pad and the rotor limiting contact and causing caliper deflection? That's all just imaginary? True, you don't NEED crossdrilled or slotted rotors for the average joe. But if you constantly exceed 100+ MPH, autocross or road race. Crossdrilled and or slotted rotors might give you the edge you need. Numbers don't lie - when comparing alike brake systems one with crossdrilled and/or slotted rotors, they always come out ahead stopping faster - why is that?

    Sorry to hear you had a bad experiance with them. It could be you got a bad batch of brakes, or they were installed incorrectly, or you're just a bad driver???

    With all the motorsport use my Camaro sees' I still had the stock brakes last 113,000 miles - and that was only having pads put on the front, and turnin' the rotors, rears still have 50% pad life left, going strong at 126,000 miles.

    Warped rotors deals more with driver input than the quality of brakes. I can warp a 5,000 dollar brake system if I tried to - does that mean they are bad???

    Slow consistant pedal pressure, that gradually builds, Don't stab or jab, you're not boxing.
    Also, if you don't season your brakes, don't complain about life and wear. Preventive maintenance!

    Hey Bro, READ correctly, I said "UNLESS". "Unless you are driving cross-country or multi-terrain event". WTF are you atacking me for? I made a suggestion, if you don't like it, post your comment in a more civilized way AFTER you read what someone wrote, and UNDERSTAND IT! No, im not stabbing or jabbing, i'm posting a comment!

      Never said "HockeyMan" was the one that was doing all this. It was a blanket statement. I'm not attacking you, I'm offering some supported facts that crossdrilling and slotting do have there advantages, even in street use.

      Anyway, I looked for you on AIM, not online, holler at me if you log in - I'm Blig on there too. Later.

          I would keep you stock rotors until your warranty runs out, just get them to replace the rotors or get them turned when they warp up again.<hr></blockquote>

          Be careful they dont pull a stunt on you like they did to me....they wouldnt replace them anymore after like two times because they said my car was driven too hardn :rolleyes: , i asked the guy how he could tell and he said,"Well for one, the interior is dirty." WHAT THE HELL?!!? be careful cuz dealerships ARE Ghey
