the slotted and drilled rotors a re specially treated after the process to stop cracks, the cheap ones are not and they crack frequently. So I would assume doing your own would have poor results, and them being a safety item I wouldn't like experimentation myself

if your warping them your stopping too hard, try coasting first (aka slow down by taking your foot off the gas), drilling them can crack them, and drilling without the right pattern can make stopping distance greater. What rotors are you using? I have not had a warped rotor on any of my cars in a long time, and use the store brand from advance

Do not ever drill stock rotors. They are built for integrity, and the ones that you buy pre drilled and slotted havnt been tempered until after thats done to make them stable and as arch said, to prevent cracking. If your warping rotors you should change your driving style, not dynamics of the car.

underdrive pulleys cause alot of issues for little gain. Do you stay hard on the brakes when stopping or do you let up some? if staying hard on them you overheat tehm (we used to call that woman driving since every car that came in with overheated brakes a woman drove)

no i let up and even coast quit a ways its mostly on the long hills i tend to ride them a bit. i somtimes even down shift my automatic. how do under drive pullys cause a lot of probelms? i thought they where one of the easier thing s to do.
