slotted, not drilled

I just got back from a bit of light speeding, and I noticed this:

Bear in mind that I carefully warm these rotors up, I cool them down, and they have never seen a track day in their lives. And yet they cracked, just from a little bit of commuting and a little bit of autocrossing. My slotted rotors NEVER did this... I think we're going back to slotted, then. All that remains now is to contact StopTech and find out if I can get my money back, or if these things are unsafe or what. Guh.

mm yes drilled roters do crack. mostly when you leave them alone on the street corner late friday night.
thats why slotted are better.
mmm power slot.
something you might also look into, have you ever seen the process where they crio freeze the roters? its suppost to align all the little stuffies that make up the roter and make it last longer and not crack. might check into that.
