Well, I was searching for some cross drilled rotors to replace my 99 spec rotors.. But after searching and realized how expensive it could be (800-900 for JUST fronts), I've decided to take my near new 99 Stock rotors to Garfinkle.
I'll be honest, I was mainly looking for look vs. function (but 99 brakes are noticeably better in general vs stock 93+).
Anyhow, I am super happy with the results. Garfinkle worked out the harmonics of cross drilling and counter sunk ever hole! This particular custom drilling took him many hours of planning and many hours to drill (as you could see by number of holes).
Also drilling probably lessen the weight of the rotors by couple of pounds (i didn't think to weigh it, but did feel lighter).
If you have 99 rotors or any other rotors you want to custom drill, definitely sent them to Garfinkle! He knows what he's doing.
This particular job will cost you $250 + shipping. Personally, I think its worth the work! I'm going to put them on today and will post some pics on the car.. Mean while, please look at the rotors off the car.
