it was a quick typo; I make it a lot.

on that note, it should be: Shid you're an idiot.

Not, shid your an idiot

and uhh, it IS why they're there, you dumbsh!t.

here's the 411 for your punk@$$ on how braking systems work.

Brakes need heat to work, but too much heat will lesson the ability of the pad to grab the disc (this is brake fade)- this causes an increase in stopping distance. Cross drilled rotors are designed with a specific drill pattern that enhances air flow.

Done right, this does not affect the integrity of the rotor and at the same time insures maximum cooling for the disc.

Done poorly, like the ebay "brembo" rotors he's talking about, it will SIGNIFIGANTLY decrease the structural integrety, and do nothing for brake ventalation.

Drilled rotors don't magically make your car stop quicker, nor will they make the car stop quicker in all conditions.

As for SLOTTED rotors, the slots clean the friction material (those are the BRAKE PADS) by slicing off a thin layer, they do NOTHING TO HELP COOL. They do in fact, have the opposite effect

The face grooves slice the brake pad material, allowing the pad to bite harder into the disc, thereforce causing an increase in the disc temperature.

What does that mean? It means that it helps competition vehicles bring the pads and the disc up to optimal operating temperatures. It will NOT help anyone without a big brake kit, etc.

it won't help you stop quicker either

and it will decrease your pad life.

Go sit in the corner and cry.
