Slotted and drilled rotors and 4 or 6 piston calipers w/ metallic pads. Many different companies, so I can't really say which is the "best" one.

Ive read a few posts on DP that they crack after a while cause of the salt

TJREX 07-13-2008 08:46 PM

I have not heard of that...I would think the difference in temps may cause cracking before the salt would. Say its -20 f outside and you heat them up to 500 f and cool them back down maybe they cycling would cause them to crack...could always cryo them
