[QUOTE="dodgerammit, post: 440581, member: 21375"] Stopping power comes from surface area. And holes=less surface area. To put it short, I had a built 2000 T/A WS6 that was made for handling. I was told by people who autocrossed the platform to avoid vented or slotted rotors and keep it simple. Purchase good quality blanks (rotors) and spend your money on the best pads you can buy. For most, a quality semi metallic will do more than enough. If you want to break a neck stopping, you can't beat Hawk pads, unless you hate cleaning wheels. I didn't regret taking their advice as I regularly thrashed that Pontiac on the Tail of the Dragon. On a light YJ, Hawks definitely are not necessary. Honestly, probably not available for them.
