Message	Rotora rep told me the 6 piston, 14 inch rotor setup will NOT work with 17" wheels. Need 18" wheels. StopTech rep told me there is NO difference between the slotted and drilled rotors with regards to cracking. The difference is....if the rotors do crack, the drilled variety are prone to cracking completely to the edge (to the point of needing replacement) more quickly. ..as the crack travels from hole to hole. Doesn't matter if the rotors are cast with holes or drilled, edges smoothed...etc. All Stoptech rotors are more than adequate for hard "daily drivers", and it takes hard track usage to crack them.
