I think it has more to do with heat dissipation. Than with stopping power.

I guess its sort of connected

The better the rotor cools, the cooler the brake fluid is I believe.

The cooler the brake fluid is, the stiffer the brakes feels. When the brake fluid gets too hot, the brakes feel squishy.

 

Thanks serge. jason feel free to chime in I know that you were looking at rotors not to long ago. lol

 

I asked jason a similar question the other day.
I believe he said its better to have one or the other. Not both.

I think the drilled one would have more heat dissipation than the slotted, obviously lol

I've also heard that the slotted, is bad for brake pads, but thats something I overheard. I haven't really read up on it. I guess its supposed to chop it up over time. Sort of like when you grate a block of cheese, to get those little strings of cheese. LMAO.

Between the two I would have to go with the drilled version.

 

^^thanks. Drilled is the prefered of most. I mean they are on all high end cars from what ive seen.

 

swiss cheese rotors any1? lol

 

^^^lol. Work is kinda slow today as you can tell im actually postin more then once lol.

 

sup guys..

saw petes black and white thing and it made me wanna take some pics

bordem + camera =











whoever wants some pics of their car LMK

 

sweet shots homie... i like the first and last ones best

 

ty sir

btw you guys that have your gauge leds worked on

how much would that cost me?

 

i forgot how much Ala charges...

 

Go to Ala

 

how mush?

i wanna do white gauge lights with red needles

 

Hot pics Javi. Heard alot of good things from Ala, on pricing too. He has his own topic so just shoot a message through here and he'll quote you

How u guys been?

 

drilled rotors and slotted do about the same, drilled are more prone to cracking around the holes long term, i've had it happen on my last car with brembo drilled rotors, especially in the florida heat. slotted eat brake pads faster but not by much.

i myself prefer slotted, heres a shot of the stoptech stage 2 slotted kit i installed not long ago. i'm on stoptech slotted rotors, EBC redstuff pads and stoptech braided SS lines. the combo feels great:

 

pete, i have the ones cedric got. slotted stoptechs. fyi.. most rotor manufacturers dont warrant cracks on drilled rotors. i would love to have drilled because thats what all the new cars have, but they have warranty. lol. the guy with the expensive ceramic drilled porsche rotors can stomp on the brakes all he wants because they'll replace em for free. i couldnt do that with the tc. so thats the only thing that kept me away from the drilled because the drilled look better. what brand were you looking at?

 

Taking a quick break, from reading and watching videos about cylinder heads.

In the future i'll be doing my own valve swap ^^

*rawr!*

UPS update, coilovers arrive tomorrow, wooot.

 

^ lucky bastage.

DHL update: taking theif effing time for my header and resonator =o

 

Thats a really nice picture =)

I don't know whether to get drilled or slotted. LOL

>.<;

 

once i finally paint the calipers it should look even better. i'll have to take some pictures of the fronts too with the wheels on and new lugs $$

 

I painted them red a while back. The front calipers, look black now, lol. Since I drive so much.

The rear still look red.
