X-Drilled rotors do nothing but crack. true story. the people buying x-drilled rotors are assuming it’s going to do something for them simply because they look the same as the ones on f/p-cars.
When in reality, this is all they do:
Buying x-drilled rotors imo is no better than buying blue bulbs for your turn signals or wire looming every wire under your hood in blue wire loom from advanced.
And it only made that V6 Camaro stop WORSE than a blank would have.
Oh, and ps…this fucking thread SUCKS hard, you’re a bunch of toolbags :haha
And no, they didnt. maybe they were better than your old ass rotors on there but I’d put money on you not being able to distinguish between stock blanks and those in a blind test.
if they performed like the regular solid ones…why are they putting them on C6’s? Z06’s? Vipers? etc stock from the factory…cooler= better stopping power…not to mention, that rotor was much bigger in diameter then the front stockers that were on my car…stopped better? IT DID
Well if you went to a BIGGER blank you would have felt the same gain, all I’m saying. The x-drilled crap is JUST FOR LOOKS. all I’m saying, the other cars you’re naming that come with x-drilled (ie: the new z06/zr1/ferraris/porsches) are engineered with x-drilled brakes in mind, it’s been tested and proved too many times for me to keep arguing.
MOST aftermarket x-drilled rotors should be used for nothing more than show cars and paper weights. That is all.
Sure, not YET, and some people’s won’t crack…they’ll only crack if you use em right, which is the bad part of them.
Like I said, they’re great for show cars with d-bag owners who can’t drive. But if you use your breaks right they’ll fail…just saying.
Most x-drilled rotors, even if they’re Brembos (I know how much ricers love to say they have brembo brakes : :rofl --not calling you a ricer btw) can/will crack given the same amount of a workout as a blank, and the blanks are cheaper…it’s just not an ‘upgrade’ in people’s minds so it’s not ‘cool’.
So, you’re the kinda guy who’ll go out in pajama’s with bedhead not giving a fuck that you look? i dont give a damn about the internet its just a forum so i have run on sentences but i somehow still cannot type as poorly as you and have such horrible mistakes despite the fact that im using no punctuation so who knows what that actually means about you beause i know even if you were typing an essay it’d still read fail on the top when your 5th grade teacher gives it back to you
it depends on the way the rotors are made too, the Brembo and zimmermann x-drilled rotors are the most superior in design, they are actually casted with the holes in them vice the cheap genaric type that are actually drilled… they will crack over time, but nothing like the cheapos, i had a set of brembo cross drilled on my old mk2 VR-6 and after almost 30k miles on them a couple spots showed some slight cracking, but that was some hard miles too. on the street you wont notice much of a gain if any, but when things heat up and assuming you have good pads( hawk, ebc, ferodo, etc) you will notice a difference with the larger and or cross drilled because they are able to dissipate heat and transfer gasses from the rotor face better than the standard type rotor.
I street race and brag about it on the innanet. Going fast in a straight line makes my balls grow larger. It inflates my ego when I race Geo Metro’s and beat them by 3 BUS LENGTHS. omg.
Both of the pictures I posted are Zimmerman rotors, it really depends, a lot of aftermarket companies buy brembo/zimmerman blanks, drill them themselves, and sell them still in the brembo/zimmerman packaging, or so I’ve heard :wtf
because you dont need them. alot of companies use them, porsche and ferrari exclusivly, BMW uses them now on their M cars, but whenever i need new brakes, just getting some Brembo blanks and some EBC redstuff or Hawk HP pads. ive got 41k on my stock brakes and the rotors are still nearly new, no groove bads are still 50-60%… and as you know they stop pretty well for stock brakes…
