Cross-drilling of the rotors allows air to flow through the rotor,
cooling the rotor material and the pad from the extreme heat generated
by high speed panic stops...brake componentry's worst enemy. Users in
law enforcement, emergency health care and municipalities report reduced
rotor warping, increased pad and rotor life, superior braking
performance, faster stops with less fade, and improved wet-weather
braking.

For racing applications we recommend gas-slotted
rotors that provide venting of the hot gases created by your racing pads
during hard braking. This will result in more efficient braking because
the pads are in better contact with the rotors. Gas-slotting may also
lessen your chance of warped rotors. We do not recommend cross-drilled
rotors in racing applications because cross-drilled cast iron rotors may
crack due to the heat from braking.
NOTE: We carry cross drilled and slotted rotors for
most domestic and import vehicles.

For the very best stopping power, these rotors combine
the features of cross drilling and slotting mentioned on the respective
pages to give the best cooling and water run-off available on the
market. Unfortunately they are only available for a limited number of
vehicles including some Honda, Mitsubishi, and Chrysler products, and
come silver cadmium plated.
