Dude, one thing that I hold back for cross-drilled disc is that the area of the surface is decreased.
Yup. I agree.

I'm gonna skool you ppl on brakes so listen up.

I dunno why ppl are always making a big deal about crossdrilled, slotted, or crossdrilled + slotted rotors. :roll:

The only part that matters is were the pads contact. You start drilling holes or cutting slots into the rotor you decrease the surface area that the pads ride on.

When it comes to rotors bigger is better not slotting and drilling holes into sh*t.

And real 13" big brake kit upgrade cost at least $2K USD.
Yup. Big brakes ain't cheap.

I know some guys that roadrace Mustangs and they spent $3,000 USD on 13" vented rotors (2 piece) and 4 piston Wilwood calipers (fixed calipers). Now thats the sh*t. :grin:

I'll be running 12.19" vented rotors and 4 piston Wilwood calipers on my roadrace + drag Civic.
