'93 Dave Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 but seriously... there is not that much of a weight difference.Slotted... no cracking+1, whats that gonna save u a few grams, plus ive always liked the looks of sloted over drilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsDemise Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 go slotted, think about how much weaker the rotors get when holes are drilled through them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livvakt Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 How about dimpled and slotted ... All that aside, my vote goes for slotted :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsDemise Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 How about dimpled and slotted I have EBC dimpled and slotted rotors; they look nice but had thickness variation after 6000 miles coming with that wonderful shuttering during hard braking.

NGB Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Steve, who makes the 2 piece rotors and which Brembo caliper is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 but u know what the funny thing is? yes there are some really really small cracks at the drilled holes. maybe one or two spots, 2-3mm at the drilled holes, on each rotor. the big cracks are at each and every slot for the brass bushings that mount the rotor to the hat.That's a very interesting remark. I lack the knowledge to draw any conclusions (aside from torquing/install error?). Have you had any expert opinions on the matter?I've had less than pleasing results with x-drilled rotors, and have now decided to stay primarily with slotted.

JCviggen Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Slotted for sure. Drilled ones WILL crack when you wear or abuse them enough. On the road you can get away with drilled rotors pretty well, on the track they just get demolished. I cracked a rather expensive, heat-treated rotor literally in half on the Nürburgring. Slotted ftw since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturrrbed Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 obviously slotted seems the clear winner, is slotted and drilled better than just slotted or is it actually worse due to the weakening of the rotor by drilling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 You don't need ANY holes in your rotor Stick with only slotted or even plain. Holes really don't have any mentionable advantage at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturrrbed Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 ok ok , slotted ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 defintely slotted....better heat dissipation at higher speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal3thousand Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I bought slotted front and rears a few years ago, the fronts have worn all the way through the slots. I replaced them with solid ones for a while. The rear pair still have like 80% of the depth of the slot left. Go figure.But yeah, Slots FTW.Anyone interested in Slotted Cryos?

MilesC70 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 ... both...sry, for the crappy cell phone picI have cross drilled and slotted with red calipers too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Aaron-- Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 why not slotted and drilled? Thoughts anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
