KVR makes cheap cross drilled replacements in stock size. I have their rotors and pads. They seem to be good and the rotors were $150 i believe for both(silver zinc coating on em too) and the pads were $50 or so. Fasttoys.com did a GP a long time ago and that's probably the only reason I got them. Goodluck

best and cheapest are blank rotors.

Cross drilled rotors will significanly DEMINISH braking capabilities

i never noticed any less............or more. more or less looks. the most gain i've recieved have been from a good set of pads and braided line on the stock system which worked very well for the street. that is until i put baers on the car and now i worry about the people behind me being able to stop in time.

Trey, for the love of God, shaddup.
He didn't ask anyones opinion on whether solid or crossdrilled were better. He asked what the best/cheapest CROSSDRILLED rotors were.

I happen to have crossdrilled and slotted rotors on my car, and I would be willing to bet you they stop a lot better than the brakes on your car. I doubt 99% of the people on here would ever notice the performance difference between solid and drilled anyway. We arent Indy racing or anything......and solid rotors are ugly, crossdrilled =

dont the cross drilled rotors also reduce rotating mass? wonder how much lighter a crossdrilled and sloted rotor is then its stock counterpart?

i can tell you this much.....

my baer 13" eradispeed cross drilled/slotted/zinc two piece rotors are 5lbs lighter then my stock crossdrilled/slotted gm performance counterpart and almost 7lbs lighter then the oem version.

take a 7lb weight and swing it around on a rope....now multiply that times how ever many you put on your car. 28lbs of rotational mass is quite a bit!

thats also 28 less pounds of mass to aborb heat.

And dont eradispeeds have aluminum hats? that might exlplain it more than the holes
