I personally would not recommend Kevlar pads or cheap cross drilled rotors (heat/stress cracks)
Any more info on brand of rotor???

I have cross drilled KVR on my car which I bought from PerformanceFords. They have been on my car since July, 2001. I love them and have absolutely no problems with them.

No little cracks around the radiused edges of the cross-drilling??
All the ones that I've had / seen were cracked, short of being OEM on Porsches and Mercs.
Might be bad luck... Or maybe it just takes a winter or two??

so far nothing that I have noticed. come spring will take a good look at them, but nothing seems to be wrong. Still stop great even in the colder weather.

No cracks on the cross drilled Autotech brand rotors on my 84 VW Jetta GLi... They have been on there for at least 10K miles so far. HTH

Kewl, like I said, it's probably just bad luck I've seen with some of the "lesser" brands... I sure like the look of cross-drilled rotors. My new brakes are only slotted though... Once bitten, twice shy. No more pretty little holes

Get a set of OEM rotors and have them cryo treated. They will outlast and outperform all of the BoulevardPimp drilled/slotted rotors out there.
