The increased cooling of the crossdrilled rotors (allegedly) reduces operating temperature, so the pads allegedly last longer. I didn't try a comparison but I certainly didn't notice anything being _worse_. Stopping distance seemed to improve. > The only thing they have going for them is bling factor... Then why do they use them on motorcycles? I was of the impression it was about improving stopping distance and reducing heat into the braking system which causes fade.
