Cross Drilled Rotor Switch
Is there any real gain in getting these brakes besides a 3 lb weight diff? I love the way the cross drilled rotors look...

Besides better looks, just better cooling for the brakes! Other than that, nope! Again, they sure do look a lot better than the stock.

Maybe I missed a note - are all four corners of cross-drilled rotors available now? I thought the rears were still not available.

That's the other thing I found a site that sells the front ones for like 150 but they only had the fronts..this might be better suited on diy but would it be too hard to self install if I were to order them?

How I look at it.
Stopping power difference: none in dry, small gain in wet Rotor cooling difference: none, or negligible loss Rotational mass difference: 6lb weight reduction Difference in looks: more aggressive Warranted: yep Worth the $110 Dan is charging for it: You bet.

It's making me nuts that BMW hasn't released the rears yet.
