Does anyone know if you can have stock rotors slotted and crossdrilled? If so, who offers this service? Thxs.

It's only metal so yeah it can be done. It's a very foolish thing to do though.

I agree....it can be done but is a huge waste of time and $$ and in the end the rotors will probably turn out like sh*t. Especially if its not dont right, you may weaken the rotor enough that it would become dangerous

Search around....you can find drilled and slotted replacement rotors for alot of application at a pretty low price.

Thanks for the info. Just having a hard time finding rotors for a 9" out of a 78 mercury marquis. Obviously I have found stock replacements but no aftermarket slotted and crossdrilled replacements. I already have SSBC's for the front, would just like to match the back. Thxs.

Not at all recommended and it will not improve braking performance.
