which one would you pick? what are the advantages of each?

 

I've read good and bad about slotted and cross-drilled rotors. Some say the cross-drilled are for weight reduction. It doesn't seem like it would get rid of much weight but when you have really big rotors on the big brake kits I guess the weight comes into effect. On the slotted rotors I guess the slots might give them a bit more bite but this would wear our your pads faster.

Both slotted and cross-drilled rotors will have less surface area than a typical blank rotor so there's a possibility of them being worse in performance. For a street car that doesn't go over 100mph... much... I wouldn't see any use in slotted or cross-drilled rotors.

 

everything I've heard about them has been bad in the long run.

personally, I had a pair on my civic, and over time, small cracks formed near the holes of them.

I'd stay away, IMO.

 

no rotors period

 

yeah, I did a bunch of research on that when I got my car and most of what I read said to stay with solid rotors..

 

I did a Drum Brake Conversion.

 

15" ceramic cross drilled/slotted is the only way to go.

 

100,000 mile brake pad life ftw!

 

all the way around?

 

well im going to get the dba slotted rotors and i just want to see what yall would say. i was talking to the brembo headquarters and they told me that big brake kit is the best (of course lol) and the secound best company is DBA. he was telling me all the differences slotted, drill, black, and all the different ways they make them (like the materials) but i told him i wa going to get them slotted and he said that they were one of the best brakes!
