Slotted rotors don't crack as the cross drilled rotors *can*

true.......but if the rotors are cast with the holes, as opposed to drilled, they're much stronger.......and much less prone to cracking

the best slotted/cross drilled rotors i had were from a company called Irotors. these were zinc coated inside and out (only rust was from where the pad made contact, but that came off easily). it's a shame they don't make them for the Z yet. i paid $315 shipped for all 4 in a group buy for my old eclipse.

i emailed irotors about a setup for the Z. they have one after all for the non brembo cars(it is not on their site yet) I replied to get some more specifics on them; how are they made, sizes, some of the questions that were asked in this thread. I am just going by my experience with them and their rotors but once i get the info to you all, we will see. He quoted me an initial price of $269 for all 4 shipped. i think the zinc coating will be extra though.

wow keep us updated!

how about Ceramic rotors? aren't they used in the Enzo or some other porsche supercar?

here is the reply on the irotors i listed above

Hello Stephen,

The rotors start off as blank rotors then our distributor have them cross cut on a CNC aided machine. The machine creates precision drilling for the rotors. This is a known method with all cross drilled brake rotors. The rotors are non directional but with the way the rotors are drilled, we will specify a left and a right rotor for maximum air circulation.

The rotors are also 'e-coated' black which means that the rotors were factory painted for lifetime rust protection.

here is a picture of some of thier rotors to see what they mean (NOTE THESE ARE NOT FOR THE Z):
