Slotted Discs

Is it possible to get my current front disks machined and slotted? Would the advantage be that great?

Thanks

Machined yes, slotted NO. Machining returns the surface to a true flat surface improving surface area under braking. Slot them and they'll crack under pressure. Buy a set of aftermarket slotted ones instead, they will cool quicker and the slotted surface "cleans" the pad surface. DBA do them for the 4th gen, run EBC green pads with these and you'll be laughing.

BTW - at the risk of stirring up the controversy again, don't go cross-drilled.

Cheers

Get the Ebc Rotors for the 4g.

There cost effective, attractive, and only "look" like they have cross drilled design. I just bought a set for my integra...hotness

Yeah, I got those EBC too (Tirerack carries em), only problems i've found about em is that the rotors rust, alot. I spray paint everything but the braking surface and that helped a lot, anyone have a better method?

Personally I'd take function over form any day. DBAs are better than EBC rotors anyway and because DBA is an Australian company, they are also cheaper for Rufus than EBCs (he's an Aussie).
