Question Front Brake Pads

Just a quick couple of questions. I am looking at a set of HP brake pads for the bronc on www.broncograveyard.com and it says that they work great on cross-drilled rotors. Are cross-drilled rotors mandatory to use these pads? Did the 92-96 broncos come with cross-drilled rotors from the factory? What exactly are cross-drilled rotors? Thanks, hope to hear from you guys soon!

PS you guys really are awesome! I have never seen such a wealth of knowledge in one place before. Keep on truckin!!!

No you don’t need cross drilled rotors. No broncos came with them. Cross drilled rotors have holes drilled in them to keep them cooler. You can look at them at broncograveyard.
