i don't mean to take away buiseness from the site, but i got mine cross-drilled somewhere else, they actually went down and got acura oem rotors and drilled them and i'm using axxis metal masters, and they work great. had them on for over 30k miles, i drive very hard and brake very hard, and they've held up fine. i had the same setup on my 00TL for about 20K miles, and it was also great

Exclamation Re: ACP ROTORs

I got Cadmium Plated ACP Rotors. I had Acura Upgrade my Pads when I got the Rotors. Can I tell a difference ? No, not really. They Look Very Nice, but in reality the Cross Drilling won't do that much for Stopping, maybe a little for decreased fading.

Cross-Drilling does decrease the surface area, so in reality, an argument could be made for < Stopping Power, but I would think that would be negligible as well.

the cross drilled design is for cooling purposes. in itself, it wont help ya stop faster, the pads do that work. so since u have upgraded rotors, its time to get some better pads, like axxis metal masters, then u will see a significant difference.
