Do you know if the cross-drilled rotors from stoptech have the possibility of warping?

If so can they be resurfaced?

Cracking would be a larger concern with cross-drilled.

That's why it makes little sense to drill holes in perfectly good rotors. It does nothing to improve track performance but measurably weakens the rotor.

Looks nice on a show car I guess, but those aren't generally driven very hard.

Porsche only drills holes in their Hi-performance brake packages not the standard.

And that means what? Drilled rotors crack and crack easily. Want to see my Brembo rotors from my F after a grand total of three track days?

How about this:



So I guess that implies Porsche only screws their high performance brake owners who don't choose the carbon brakes.

My Porsches rotors have 88k miles & zero cracks. Porsche carbon ceramic rotors are drilled.

How many track days do you have on your Porsche? 88k miles implies zero track events.

I never see cracks on anything I only street drive.

Rotora's have different p/n for the is350s and 250s... Luis at L-Tunedparts is not so willing to let me have it due to the different p/n as he wants to ensure fitment... any idea where i can show it to him?
