    So you got regular rotors and had slots ground into them?

    Just out of curiosity, why did you do this?

    Calipers?

    Did you use different calipers or adaptors to fit to the new larger rotors?

    rotors..

    I had some 324mm Endless rotors to put on, so I had them slotted as well,
    Slots allow de-gassing of the pads when braking.
    the general consensus is that slots work for that, and also 'skim' the pads to assist in flat disk wear, (10% over the life of the pads)
    drilled rotors are subject to heat cracks around the holes. and can cause weakness in disks not so designed.


    hence my choice for slotting.. :)

    and they look shit hot... :LOL:

    Calipers..

    the 'kit' I bought out of Japan came with adaptors for the stock calipers..
    and a full set of endless pads, not that I'd use them on the street, they will proberly gather dust on the shelf...
    :thumbsup:
