[alfa] Re: LS rotors

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having done a lot of math regarding this topic,  I'm of the opinion 
that drilled discs are pretty silly.  Slotting makes more sense.  I 
don't think there's a real reason to do both, besides trying to look 
cool.  (That said, I'll admit that I have those very IAP discs on the 
front of my GTV-6, because I wanted slots and they were FAR cheaper 
than any other discs with slots in them.)
