What do you guys think of these? They look vented.

Theyre actually vented and cross-drilled...

They look fine. You'll get a few who'll tell you how bad cross drilling is, i have had no problems with my crossdrilled rotors though.

I don't have firsthand experience with cross-drilled rotors, but I've heard of many cross-drilled rotors that developed small cracks when heat cycled strongly. To me it doesn't make sense to get "performance" brakes that you have to baby.

Also, generally, the cross-drilled holes remove a significant portion of pad-to-rotor contact area (I think the number was around 1/7th of the area), which to me seems counterproductive.

If I were to use machined rotors I'd probably pick slotted ones. Slots don't take as much out of the rotors' structural integrity, and maintain more contact area between the rotor and pad. They allow the continual resurfacing of pads, and since the rotor is ventilated anyway I don't think the extra cooling from cross-drilling is worth it. I am interested, however, in DBA's "Kangaroo's Paw" ventilated brake rotor design; supposedly it allows cooling air to go through the rotor more efficiently for better cooling.

Personally.......I'd spend the same money on OEM rotors......I'll bet you money they'll last longer.

I'm not going to get into the whole brake debate......but I will tell you I've run just about every type of rotor, except the uber expensive two piece floating rotors.

I've run cross-drilled, slotted, plain, cyro-treated......out of all those for every day use, and even "canyon" runs plain rotors that have been cryo-treated will be the best. Slotted have their merits for certain reasons, but for normal use, they're not as important.

There's a lot of literature out there...... www.stoptech.com has a lot of info, and there's a lot of info in the brake & suspension forum on nasioc

I don't think I'll buy them. I'll stick with the oem's. I just wanted to share them with everyone else.
