Need high performance rotors?

Cross-drilled and slotted rotors available from Race Concepts
Rating scale is from 1 to 10. Low being 1 high being 10
Rating: 9.3
With proper care and maintenance these rotors
will provide increased performance. As with any rotor, the key is properly
breaking them in, or heat cycling them. Click

The fit
of these rotors is exactly that of the OEM. No issues of any kind arose during
either installation or use. Click

These rotors were manufactured with
an emphasis on tight tolerances where appropriate, namely the rotor thickness,
Other aspects were not as tightly controlled, i.e. errors in the concentricity
of machined cross drilled ventilation holes and the cast chamfers were readily
apparent to the naked eye. These imperfections however are not indicative
of a defective product or design but rather indicate an intent to apply manufacturing
costs only where they will benefit the performance of the rotor.

review)
As a side note, if your rotors are readily visible after
installation, you should paint the non-contact area of the rotors. Click

What advantages do drilled and slotted
rotors have? The most notable is they have an increased surface area to allow
better cooling. Other advantages include lower rotational mass, better off-gassing
properties, and increased wet performance. Do they run cooler? Yes! Based
on the average of several controlled data samples these rotors run on average
82º cooler in the front and 27º cooler in the rear. The downside
to drilled and slotted rotors, other than cost, is they are more prone to
warp if not torqued correctly. They can also make a slight whirling noise
during hard breaking.
Note: I will publish any issues as they arise.
