cross drilled rotors Scott Williams is WRONG!

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Deciding slots were okay, holes not, is a personal thing.
slots: disappear with wear                             holes: do not
slots: add no cooling function                         holes: do
slots: decrease swept area                             holes: do also
slots: don't appreciably weaking the disc        holes: may
slots: require CNC mill                                  holes: require home
drill press (or even hand drill if you're Ron)

My personal winner.....holes, three to one.
