I know you'd LIKE to think that your fancy cross drilled floating rotors will stop your car faster than my car (assuming we had the same wheels and tires). But you'd be WRONG in thinking that.

Spending $$ on wheels and suspensions, etc. isn't really ricey because there is some performance difference.

Spending $1500 - $2000 on cross-drilled rotors purely for "looks" is classic rice. Spending big money for "performance" things that really do nothing to improve performance (but only give the illusion of increased performance") is rice.

My point is not to try to convince anyone to not waste their money on useless "performance" upgrades. It helps the economy so its good.

Just don't kid yourself into thinking that changing the brakes is going to make your car "stop so hard your teeth will end up on the hood" or other such nonsense. That's my point. Even ricers can be smart consumers.

 

I think you are a little off SoCal. Buying a $2000 brake kit that doesnt improve performance would just be unintelligent, putting 'slotted rotor' stickers on your brake DRUMS would be ricey!

 

LOL, true! I posted a link to a ricer site that sells "simulated cross-drilled rotors" on this forum once (I can't find it). For those that just want the "look," its a much less expensive way to go! (Cost like $49.99).

The fact that ricer accessory sites even sell "simulated cross-drilled rotors" I guess is kind of proof positive that getting the "look" has become rice.
