Recommendations please

Mt Tam I am

I am going with stock rotors and will cross drill them a little bit on a press. I will not have the machinist go crazy.

This does not start until next week so I am still taking advice.

I highly recommend you not do that. It does not reduce the weight by a significant amount and will cause stress risers (cracking) if you use them hard.

Are your brake ducts being fed into the center of the rotor? If so, you really should change from stock rotors as directional rotors would really benefit from your existing brake ducts. But then again the stockers are not bad by themselves either.

xp8's got overheated up front at a PDX this past saturday at sebring. wifey had a small "off track excursion". (no harm done thankfully). We are resisting running brake ducting at this time b/c we don't know how long we will hold onto the car and if it's only for a couple more years, as of right now, the nismo needs to have the bumper cut and that will limit potential future buyers as there's no going back from that.

/\ don't do it, you will def wind up cracking them first time you really go out on the track.

Thank you. I will not cross drill. But will use stock rotors due to low price.

Yes they are. Buying better rotors will be in my future, but trying to figure out price vs effectiveness is confusing. Stock are cheap and will not kill me.

Remember rotor is virtually a heat sink, it doesn't really increase braking performance (unless you are overheating the crap out of your brakes). Cryo treat will make the bonds stronger and make it stronger and possibly last longer. Save your money on better pads and tires, much better bang for the buck!
