drilled and sloted Options

[Dragondog]

where is a good place i can get drilled and sloted rotors......no i wont do it to standerd disks......i found a place in ca that sells them for 69$ for frt pair what do you think others for 107$ a disk

Sorry if im beating a dead horse , but i am in the market for new front rotors too, so ive to throw in my 2 cents

It seems the big gripe about drilled and slotted rotors is that they decrease the frictional surface area for the pads to make contact with.

Isn’t that the same concept as those four and six puck clutch disks? By limiting the surface area you greatly increase the clamping force at four or six points, while sacrificing lifespan of the friction material and smooth engagement.

So
Drilled and/or Slotted = lots of bite but short lived pads


Also, holes and slots increase surface area of the rotor as a whole, therefore it must cool faster than a standard rotor.
