Anyone had experience with Centric rotors? Drilled & slotted.

 

No, no one. You are the first person who has ever asked this question. Glad to see you didn't waste your time searching.

 

hehehe

please do try the following too..

"drilled rotor cracking"

 

Hi Chef,
I got Brembo,drilled and slotted rotors,had them for at least 3- 4 years,no problems,whatsoever...really them.

 

I had bad experience with the ones i bought! They warped in 5k miles.

 

Thanks Emil, where did you find a good price on the Brembos?

 

I'm using Racing Brake rotors. Only on the car a couple thousand miles so far. I think I paid about $450 for a set of 4.

(and, yes, drilled/slotted rotors are more likely to crack than blanks)

 

there is nothing wrong with drilled or slotted as long as its not a cheap brand, but no matter what brand you get, blank, drilled, slotted, there aventually going to crack

 

no, no and no

have you seen a oem stock vette drilled rotor cracks? what about spoon? those are quality brand and they too, cracks.

you don't need drilled disk, no modern pad outgas.

less surface area for traction, small thermal capacity doesn't sounds like a performance and smart upgrade to me.

if your goal and only bragging right about a drilled and slotted rotor is that they didn't crack, my oem blank didn't crack neither

they did perfectly fine in SOW under socal summer heat, sure they don't look "racy" but who cares about that

 

Drilled and/or slotted rotors are a visual enhancement, not a performance enhancement. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.

While your point is technically correct, there's still more than adequate surface area and traction to engage ABS. The reduced mass and resulting loss of thermal capacity isn't a factor in street driving. It could show up at a track day (particularly for more experienced, and faster drivers), but you're not going to have issues like that on the street.
