Default RE: brake rotors

I like Wilwoods myself. Just don't waste money on cross drilled rotors if they charge more for them. Cross drilling is to reduce unsprung rotational mass, and unless it's a full race car where tenths and hundredths count, cross drilled rotors are useless. They actually have slightly less braking power than an equally sized standard rotor, because the cross drilling reduces the amount of material so there's less surface area for braking, and less metal to disipate heat. Slotted are to scrape off brake dust, which is fine. Just don't waste money on some essoteric rotor unless you actually need it for a race car.
