My question for David, why did they go with cross-drilled? I think it was on stop-techs own website that I read slotted it better.
I have noticed a great deal of variation in engineering re: high perf. braking. Porsche and Mercedes usually cross drill and yet BMW and Chrysler don't. I have some experience with my fleet of heavy trucks and when we gave up surface area for cross drilled we got higher temps. Slotting worked better as it took less surface area. But final word was stock had the lowest temps and ceramic pads lasted longest and generated almost no dust.
