Those do look sweet!! Would cross drilled rotors help with the warping issue or just chew through pads faster?

After 007SPY's remark, I was afraid I was going to have to go with the forward mounted rocket launchers!!

Cross drilled will actually introduce the highest risk or warping. The drilling introduces micro fractures that compromise the structure. Also, warping can be introduced my hitting a hot rotor with water, so anything that would let water all the way through the rotor would only exacerbate the likelihood of warping. If you want a look on your rotors, go slotted.

Make sure to keep all brake sliding surfaces (expect the actual braking surfaces) well lubricated and free of rust. There is a special lube for the caliper pins. Also be sure to flush brake lines every other year to get any dissolved water out of the brake system.

I don't care about how they look, I just want them to stop warping every month!!!!!!

Last attempt was original Acura rotors, had them cryogenicaly treated for another $130.00...... lasted two months instead of one.......
