Hey, I was wondering if anyone is using other rotors other than stock, I am about to replace mine and was wondering if anyone has drilled and/or slotted rotors.

Anyone know anything about these?

BUMP

Does no one have drilled and/or slotted rotors?

 

One a basic suspension street car, the best set up you can make use of would be a solid 13" rotor with Cobra or Mach1/Bullitt calipers.

One most street cars, I wouldn't suggest drilled rotors. They are prone to cracking when not up at temp or not broken in right.

 

What about slotted I had in the link at the top?

I guess I really just need the rotors, they are warped to hell...

Unless of course the whole caliper swap is relatively cheap...

 

Slotted rotors act like a cheese grater on your pads. That good when you're beating the stuffings out of it ona road course. It's acceptable on the street. The down side is that you'll go through brake pads bretty fast, and create a lot more dust.

 

Yeah, you'll want to match pad composite with the type of driving you do with slotted.
Like Bob said, they work great for cleaning pad surface, but in doing so, they are also eating up pads like crazy.

 

So I'll stick with normal...How big is a stock rotor anyways?

 

I've had drilled/slotted rotors on most of my cars, and never had any issues with any of them. I love them and recommend them, but it's only necessary if you're having brake fade issues.

 

Ryan do you get more brake dust than with a solid rotor? eat through pads quicker?

 

Nope, front pads are at 40k miles and still going strong.
