        Have you switched to the LX proportioning valve?
        yes i have, and the brake booster and the master cylinder and they were all the LX **** was the exact same as the DX **** except the roaters and calipers...

          I dont really see why anyone would get slotted rotors or cross-drilled rotors, unless they are on the edge all the time. Slotting is really the best way to try and add extra venting to the rotors. The slots are made in an arc that goes from center to outside, gas can escape easier because there is a tendency to "throw" it out from centrifugal force. It's a small difference, probably not noticeable unless you are constantly on the edge (you get your rotors red hot). Cross drilled rotors are good when your on the edge all the time, like racing, they might give you that little bit of extra cooling....after the rotors are really hot though. By cross drilling for the street you are removing some of the precious metal that can be used as the heat sink for lower temp braking. Cross drilling can produce stress cracks, chamfering reduces this a bit. They are mainly for looks on the street, but they do look pretty cool. Really the BEST way to lower braking distance is better pads and the best thing you can do is get bigger rotors.
