I have the same cross drilled rotors as well. I can say this: Car wise, braking is improved. Especially when you add semi-metalic pads to the formula. However, there is one major drawback, and that is the DeLorean itself. With the majority of wieght in the rear of the car, hard braking from moderate speeds is not for the faint of heart! In stop and go traffic, braking is better for when people cut in front of you suddenly. Namely SUV's and such. However at higher speeds there is no advantage. I have found that at 35mph+ I can't simply stop in a straight line. I constantly have to steer to correct my car. And on one occasion I even spun around. One way to cure this is with a set of good tires. But even here there's a down side. I've found that with the Yokohama AVS tires, they have to heat up first in order to grip properly. Warm Yoko's on wet roads do better then cold one's on dry pavement. So you do have to let them warm up a bit before you get the maximum benefits from your car. I don't know about Cooper tires though. Does anyone here have some info on them? But in any case, the x-drilled rotors alone will not be a cure-all solution to improve braking. They need to work together with good struts, pads, tires, and a driver. I too have the same problem with squealing. When ever my car brakes it sounds like a whailing banshee. Kind of fitting in a way :p Bottom line: If you enjoy getting a little more excitement out of your car then usual, x-drilled rotors are something you should tag for your future wishlist along with other performance items. I'm sure that x-drilled rotors will improve the resale value of your car somewhat. But then chances are you probably won't be selling the car if you're willing to go this far to improve it. If your car is mainly for regular daily driving or less, I'd skip the rotors. If you have a little extra cash and want to improve braking for your car, buy a new mastercylinder, semi-metalic brake pads, and seal kits to service your calipers. This alone should net you some improvement along while giving the system a good servicing. SS brake lines may not be a bad idea either while you're at it. I treat my cross drilled rotors as a tool to help my car rather then an invitation to go faster. Like I said, they aren't a cure all. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, "Scot Stern" <SGSKBM@xxxx> wrote: > I had DMC in Irvine turn and cross drill my rotors when I had in the > ar in for a shimmy in the brakes.
