[QUOTE="Chris@FreedomMotorsports, post: 635993, member: 8341"] It is important to remember that the main reason that drilled rotors crack is because of the way they are drilled. Beveling the hole edges goes a long way toward defending against cracking, but I have also seen rotors that were drilled too close to the veins between the to sides of the rotors, whereby causing weakness in the rotor itself leading to cracking. I have also seen many times when great products don't last very long due to incomplete brake system servicing. Regardless of the brake parts utilized, making sure to use the new metal clips, service and grease the caliper guide bolts (WITH the new rubber bushings supplied with most hardware kits), fully flushing the brake fluid, properly seating the pads to the rotors upon installation are all very important to the overall life of the new parts. I have seen many times when good parts don't last because the customer only installed the new rotors and pads and did not take the extra time to perform a complete service. I give you props on doing the research and for performing a full brake system service, my guess is that you will have good results overall from your parts. That being said, I have to say that I have had the opposite results from the EBC rotors, EBC pads, Hawk pads. I have had several customers over the years that ordered their products and had bad short lived results from them. Now, whether this is due to incomplete brake system servicing overall or overall product quality, I can't speak to, but it is worth mentioning. In the end, regardless of parts used, make sure to service the complete brake system like you have and you are more than likely going to have good results with the StopTech products. Especially when used with the Posiquiet pads, those pads are great quality products. [/QUOTE]
