Default Don't know what to do...

Awhile back I purchased cross-drilled and slotted rotors for the front and rear of my mustang. Still today I have not put them on and kept the stock GT500 ones in the front, and the regular GT ones in the back.

So now I have to take off the rotors to have them resurfaced for a new brake install so I figure it would be the best time. However I am not sure is this is a "wise" decision since I read all the pros/cons of each. That being said, I don't know what to do....

What does everyone think?

I think you should sell them to me. 100$ lol If not, give them a shot and if they dont feel right go back to your current setup.

The cross-drilled slotted rotors are really more for show than performance unless you get the $3k Baer kit. I do like the look better than the stock rotors, but it's an individual thing.

My main concern is cracking since this is a daily driver. So if thats the case, should I just go with the stock ones instead, or would slotted be "ok" as well?

I think you will be fine with them as your brakes on a DD....
