Default brake rotors

So I have a pretty dumb question about rotors I was looking at the drill designs and I was wondering are more holes better? like the 2 pics one rotor has 2 lines of holes and the other has only one... is that gonna help or hurt because of the less surface area?

Those pictures arent of the actual products there selling...

(As far as cross-drilled AND slotted rotors are concerned) As for more holes being better, some would argue that more drilled holes in the rotor surface equals more cooling, which in turn means better breaking because of the heat dissipation...While others argue that more holes equals less rotor surface, which means less braking power.

I say they look better than OEM rotors, and if lamborghinis and porsches use them, so will my damn cheap *** neon!

i'm ordering the "shotgun" series from these guys

I've had my Ebay cross-dilled/slotted rotors on the R/T for almost 40k miles and I have zero complaints whatsoever, so that should say something.

I know what you mean, I didnt want to follow the zombie crowds who buy the SRT-4's so I went a litte more original...I sold my Neon for a 1977 Ford Pinto Roadrunner Edition (the rarest Pinto ever created) with the extended cab. Its a sweet ride yo.
