R1 Concepts Drilled/Slotted Rotors?

[BlueSS]

Saw these rotors on ebay, was wondering if anyone is using them and if they're any good? :shrug:

drilled rotors are prone to cracking. slotted will be a better choice imo.

Depends on what you want? for the street they probably look cool but may crack under heavy use.

few of my buddies including myself have the drilled/slotted rotors. no issues what so ever about the rotors cracking:shrug: and they go drag their cars a lot.

Just know that those rotors are for looks and that's about it.
If you just do normal street driving and drag racing, chances are you'll never crack a rotor because that doesn't heat them enough to hurt anything. But if you do any spirited driving in the twisties where you are repeatedly having to haul it down from high speeds there is a chance they'll crack.
My Baer front slotted and drilled rotors cracked before I ever hit a road course. Happened after taking a drive on some windy backroads with DOT R-compound roadrace tires.

Ive got the r1 concepts on mine.. I also had them on my srt4. Great rotor for the price.. i havent got to use the cobra on a road corse yet, but i road coursed my srt and auto-x, and never hadda problem from the r1 rotors. Same goes with the cobra, u just gotta make sure u break the rotors in with a set of cheap pads, like autozone or sumpin.

It's a little different on a road course.

NO. use some cheap pads first. There is a coating on the rotors that u gotta eat through, and you dont wanta do that on your hawk pads. The easiest way is to put the cheap pads on, go down a interstate or whatever, go up to 80-90 mph, then "firmly" step on the breaks till you drop till like, 30-40mph. go back up to 80-90 again, then step on the breaks firmly again. do this like, 3-4 times, then drive a lil (5-10 mins) and let them cool. Last step is to check the rotors and see if all the coating is off.
