Where to get cross drilled Rotors E70
 
anyone?

Why? To reduce performance and safety??? just because they look 'cool' to people that know no better?

On my bikes it was quite noticeable. For some reason, I have not seem this phenomenon with auto rotors... maybe the braking forces are so much greater on an automobile weight that the water is "squeezed-out" quicker than on a bike rotor.

And the e70 automatically dries the brakes in wet conditions anyway.

Agreed, cross drilled for the street is a waste of money.

Some cars brake systems are advanced enough to apply a little pressure to remove surface water on the rotor. I read somewhere that some BMWs do that.
