Standard vs Slotted Rotors for road use
Hi all,
Is there any benefits in spending extra for a slotted rotor vs standard in road use conditions. ie. Do you get better braking performance from slotted in street application or you will only see in the track? |

No. Track helps but for street use mostly it will just be wank.

Slotted for street, just for looks, standard for track. IMHO after being through many many sets of rotors of all types, the standard (subaru genuine or brembo brand) brake rotors (non slotted/drilled/whatever) are all i would use now.
Slotted rotors look good, but feel worse, and perform worse than standard rotors

If you ever intend to see the track, get slotted.

Pads are a different issue. You need a high performance pad. something like a ds2500. But rotors. i was going through a set of rotors, per track day with dba slotteds, dba 4000, then finally dba5000. every time shudder that was terrible. Swap to standard ( and undersized rotors ) and havent had shudder even when they were full of cracks. and they have been hot. Now i have a new set of brembo non slotteds, and have the same great pedal feel that the standard rotors had, plus no shudder.

Funnily enough, I run PMu pads (h16 fronts and hc+ rear) on slotted dba rotors, and the rotors wear at a much slower rate despite higher temps + higher friction pad.

I have never had a standard rotor fail, but have had dba rotors fail, so all in all i have had very bad experiences with them. That is all. Cheers Tom
