Originally posted by ContourKev: Drilled/slotted rotors are only good if you race your car, and use your brakes often to slow down at high speeds. The reasoning in having that is when the brakes are at a very high tempeture, a gas will form, so when you apply the brakes, the gas prevents braking, Slotted/drilled rotors allow that gas to escape, and allowing the brakes to function correctly.
Wrong, read above. This simply isn't true with modern friction materials. Pads don't outgass anymore.
