ForcedInduction is infamous around these parts

Does anyone make slotted aftermarket rotors that work with the stock calipers?

+1 Stockers are relatively cost effective. All the aftermarket are expensive, right?

Yes this is normal for rotors to have spider cracking-

As long as the cracks do not connect from the holes ( cross drilling ) you are ok. If you see them connecting or have reached the outer edge of the rotor then replace them. You dont want or need a rotor falling apart on the track at speed.. Thats bad - Really bad....

Once i lost all brakes at 160 in a merc, and the gas pedal was stuck...fast reactions saved me out of that one...

A few brake failues at over 100 as well...i even had a brake failure in the main straight at laguna seca, slowing down from 130, no brakes, i started pumping like hell ...haha

We were just being polite. We knew what he meant.

Like mis-pronouncing "Pagid" - no real loss.

Thanks "Divexxtreme" for the fix though - may get more participation on the thread now.
