choi... there's no such thing as brembo cross-drilled AND slotted rotors :coffee: u prob got a fake one, or a brembo slotted rotor that was cross-drilled by a second party....

as for acura 4*114.3 rotors, i have not heard abt that working.. which specific model r u talking abt? u could cross-reference the part number with accord applications

Drilled Rotors for 60$? Oh man. Be prepared to change them after about 5,000mi. The "drill" holes clog up, and they also crack because of the stress the rotor goes under. They are also prone to warping.

I got these as a free-promo item from my shop, and lets just say... never again. I told the manager not to carry the line because of how crappy they are.

The Brembo crossed and drilled made by whoever selling them machine them brembo just made drilled only or slotted only.

I had those slotted and drilled Brembo in my acura legend before, I used for about 10k miles and the rotor still have no crack the hole still didn't get blocked, oh btw nice slotted cut lol, it look like some kid draw on the rotor not machined.

Actually the slots were pretty deep when I first got them... and the steel wheel over the winter just clogged everything. I chew brake parts like breakfast. They were suppose to be "Performance Rotors designed for extreme driving conditions". I do a LOT of hard braking and I did some lapping last year. This year I am doing a lot more, so I am just going to stick with stock -- they won't warp as much.

If your doing every-day driving, and using factory pads... then yea nothing will happen to those x-drilled rotors.

All I am trying to say is that they aren't the best quality rotor on the planet. Think about it. The cost of the rotor, the salary of the operator, the cost of the equipment, building rental, etc... and then there is your markup. So if a company is selling "performance x-drilled rotors" for 60$.. and that is retail with markup... there is quality issues at hand. There is a reason why Mercedes and BMW Rotors (Cross Drilled) cost 300$ a piece.
