[Shotimes] WTB rotors for brake upgrade

[Ian Fisher]

cross drilled rotors are technically lighter and
should theoretically cool more evenly. However, when
pushed to their limits, they will need to be replaced
often. For a race car and a fully budgeted race team,
this may not make too much of a difference. For the
average person and even the most die hard track
enthusiasts, it doesn't seem too practical. My 2
cents.
