Default New rotors? (for dummies)

so let's say I go w/crossdrilled rotors and new pads. Can there be an approx % percentage applied to how much my braking ability will be improved?

And, visually, will these rotors be bigger than stock? I asusme mor elike the Stoptech rotors right?

Sean, got them on your car yet?

Default they will be the exact same size as OEM .........

they will not help at all on your initial stops ( like one 60-0 stop) as a matter of fact, the StopTech owners that I have talked to have not reported any great improvement over stock when talking about 1 or 2 stops.

The improvement on an upgrade drilled/slotted rotor will come from repeated XX-o stops, these will help *scrub* the pads and cool a little more. Cross drilled rotors and a good set of pads will help you lose some of the built in heat that braking causes.

Keep in mind that a brake rotor is nothing more than turning kinetic energy into heat, the faster that you can lose the heat, the more than you get to uitilize the brakes again.

No, I have not received the rotors yet cause I dont think they are in the RaceStore hands yet....
