    alright guys, i guess no one has ever used these rotors so i took a risk and got them anyway. ive got to say there pretty nice, a lil pricie, but nice.

    i bought 2002 monte carlo ss calper brackets from rockauto.com so i could run 12" rotors. they were about 20 bucks each. bought the monte carlo stop tech pro rotors. comes with all 4. had to buy the boots for the brackets, YOU WILL NEED THESE. painted the calipers and brackets.

    END RESULT
    i stop better lol. stop faster, and with less effort. plus im running 20's. if your running 20's you know how hard it is to stop, i cant be the only one. and they look pretty sweet. drilled and slotted.

    let me know what you think, or if you have any questions.

    the ONLY reason they stop better is because you have 12" rotors and possibly because you have better pads.... not because they're drilled and slotted.

    and LOL at orange can of death.

    slots do dick all.

    Drilled is for looks on a stock car.

    Perhaps if your rotors had curved veins and an air duct from the front of the car it might help.

    brake vents cool your brakes. doesn't matter how many holes are in your rotor. no one realistically drives hard enough for the dilled and slotted rotors to serve their purpose

    I heard that the slots in them help take out some gas or something from in between the brake pad and rotor and that helps a bit in braking, is it true?

    Under extreme braking conditions supposedly slotted rotors will fade less by keeping the pads surface clean and glaze free.

    using your brakes keeps them clean.

    Dont buy cheap pads, and they wont glaze.
