    The pulsation is back, I found play in my right bearing so I'm replacing them both.

    Bingo! what did i tell ya. Like i said i was going through rotors every few months. Replaced my bearings 5 years ago and have never warped a rotor since.

    Drilled and Slotted rotors are amazing compared to stockers. The ones he is using must be cheap-o's. If you want good D/S rotors...then buy them from R1 Concepts off of EBay.
    not that i like to agree with Nick ...

    but x2. I have had these on 2 cars with no problems. stopping is excellent. Drilled rotors actually prevent warping

    Drilling doesnt improve cooling.

    Vent your dust plates. You could probably autocross with 11" front rotors if you did that with some quality solid rotors and high temp pads.

    actually it does. drilled rotors are cooler than blanks. the holes reduce surface area, which lowers friction, which lowers heat. the holes dissapate the heat too.

    the main purpose, is to release the gas that builds up during braking between the rotor and pad, which can deteriorate the rotor. It can also release debri that builds up between the rotor and pad
