I have 17" DM5 rims (im not sure how much they wiegh) and i think they increase my stop distance because my GF has a 2001 accord coupe (stock rims/auto tran) and it stops way faster then mines. I actually have to downshift all the time to get good stop distance. So ill get pictures and tell you all how they feel after i put them on next week. Oh, and i bought a set of 'Green stuff tripple award winning brake pads'. So im sure the combo will meet my needs.... Oh and one more thing, i've been peicing together a turbo kit for about 2 years now (damn, its been hella long!) and im going to throw that in my car in the next month or so, and ill be sure to get pictures on that up too.
I wouldn't call the slots on those rotors "gas relieving slots" That sounds like something you'd find at a casino. At least I hope not anyways. I can't imagine a slot machine that blows ass.:hahano:

I think a more appropriate name would be anti-glazing or anti fade slots since their sole purpose is to prevent glazing under constant hard braking and thus brake fade.
