Well, we had a discussion thread on that about a week ago. I'd run a quick search for it. I somehow recall Axxis Ultimates being a brand with a lot of fans. I've run Raybestos HP+ pads, which are decent, but they generate a LOT of dust. h:

Definitely. If you've got a place to do basic maintenance, it really does pay to be able to not only do the work you can, but also to gauge whether a mechanic knows his shit or is trying to blow smoke up your..

Cross drilled and slotted rotors both increase performance by giving hot brake pad gasses somewhere to go during hard braking. Cross drilled rotors are - somewhat obviously - drilled right through the swept surface of the rotors, while slotted rotors have radial slots milled into the surface of the rotor.

In my experience with both types of rotors, I'm more inclined to recommend slotted rotors. I've had cross-drilled rotors crack as a result of getting too hot [and not radiating the heat away fast enough].

Slotted rotors, IMO, are better suited for a mild street application, because they retain more heat-absorbing mass than a cross-drilled rotor of the same diameter. When I swapped over to slotted rotors on my GTi, I could unleash the fury of hell upon them with impunity. :chuckles:

And of course, you're quite welcome. :thumbup:
