[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 9575248, member: 11681"] I don't blame you guys for wanting something that's exotic looking. BUT... Unless the diameter is increased(increased brake torque through greater leverage) over the solid or slotted version you are taking valuable heat absorbing mass out of the fire path and also decreasing slightly the swept area by the sum of the added area of the holes. Us track guys are so hard on the rotors that unless you run expensive cast in holes drilled rotors...(Usually a 14" kit under 18" wheels) they crack and will come apart, and that can wreck your day! I can't afford to spend extra money on something thats going to get worn and spider cracked eventually anyway and needs replacing again. Anyone planning a track day or two I always recommend brake cooling ducts. You can leave them on and they will never hurt anything and they make stock style pads last longer in a track environment. No issue with street driving and I have had them on since day in 04. The coated ones seem like a nice option if you don't want rust at the hat area. Bumps the price quite a bit though. Here's a goofy little xtranormal thing I put together, maybe you guys will be amused.. maybe not.
