cross drilled slotted rotors

[makim]

anybody used them on their fj?

most non-oem are known for their cracking under hard braking

jf has big calipers, share your experience if you have them

I think the cracking under hard braking would be on track type use hamering the bejeezuz out of said brakes.
Some drilled rotors from a reputable company like PowerSlot would never give you a lick of trouble.
Slotted rotors or eliptical slots like on ATE brand rotors are another option to vent disc pad gasses.
Check with Tire Rack.com or the like.
I am considering such on the FJ but I think the brakes aren't lacking at the moment.
I have replaced many of "upgraded" rotors on my and customer vehicles with no ill result.
Theres possibly better ways to spend your money at the time if you havent upgraded your front coilovers to Walker Evans, etc :~}

There's no point to cross drilled rotors. It's a relic from a time when brake pads let off more gas. You might see a benefit from slotted rotors, but not cross drilled. I can't really imagine what you'd want them for, though. FJ's aren't usually in places that require consistent repeated heavy braking.

x2 i thought this was the reason you only really saw these on sports cars like vettes and vipers. For braking performance to last on the track, not in day to day traffic.

I feel its more of the "cool" factor...they look nice behind the rims
