Message	Well, not his reasoning but that slotted are "okay" and drilled are crap. And don't let anyone try to tell you "well some Porsche's come with drilled brakes" because that's apples to oranges. If you see ANY drilled brakes on a professional race car it is because they have been manufactured in a different way (I forget, something with casting) and/or they are going to be changed out often. Long been proven they crack too easily. "If I'm an asshole it's only because I've been turned into one by the sheer amount of stupid people and stupid logic that dominate Twinturbo.net today."
