Also, still stuck on the fan pattern, I see...Back on topic, what caught my eye on TR's website was that the Stoptech's are also offered in cryo version for not all that much more $$. I thought Frozen Rotors were the only ones offering cryo rotors, but apparently not.
The warpage on my stock setup is getting worse and worse. Can't place how that could've happened since I never wash the car after it's been driven. Have also gone to a car wash exactly two times and both times it was the first drive of the day. Oh well, an opportunity to upgrade, right?

[QUOTE=AdidasC230;4968843]looks nice but forgive me, whats different about it from an OEM one?[/QUOTE
Those are for the rear not the front, the oem ones are solid not crossdrill, so now it will have the same look all around.

Rotors? Wow, how not exciting....With a title like that I was expecting wheels or spoilers or something deserving of an exclamation point...good luck with your brakes...

You can read the gory details at frozenrotors.com and other sites, but long-story short, taking the rotors down to minus bazillion degrees and then slowly returning them to room temp is supposed to make them more resilient to "brake stresses" -> read: warping.
He's just saying that getting x-drilled for the rear now completes the look all-around, i.e. all four corners have the same swept rotors.
BTW, the term "solid" is used to mean two different things here. Solid face rear rotors have no drill holes or slots. However, they are also solid in that they are not vented/do not have internal vanes like the fronts do. That's what the description of rotors really refers to...
My 09 Sport has cross drilled up front in that same "swept" pattern and solid in the rear. Did this change in subsequent model years?

very nice. Looking forward to seeing pics of them mounted. Always loved the look of drilled rotors (asides from the performance benefits)
