Did I recommend at type type of rotor to use to the OP? Don't think I did. Just pointed out some differences. I could care less on what you use. It's your money. If you use carbon on carbon. Then it's ![]() ![]()

That video didn't address ****, it's all general stuff most car folks should already know 1) you said that switching from stock to slotted rotors noticeably increased ur braking power. Slotted rotors dont do that. If noticed a change in braking force, it isn't due to a difference factor. U either changed other parts, or ur existing brakes were shot and simply going to new rotors, and I'm guess new PADS as well simply restored what was lost 2). The advantage of rotors is heat disappation, I supposed whatever value from cleaning" the pad that dude talked about in the vid. These things matter when braking REPEATEDLY, like on a track or hard driving conditions The DISADVANTAGE is decreased pad life This thread starter is not track driving and is LESS wear. So ur slotted suggestion does the opposite of what ur suggestion brings

You know that rotors don't actually warp, right?

No really??? and all this time i thought it was the uneven surface on the rotor caused by improper braking.

Geeze, I need to have my blank disks taken to my friends machine shop and cut some slots in them to make them turn into better metal. Because that's how slotted brakes are made.

You really sound like someone who watched that video, bought slotted rotors, and wanna feel good about yourself.
"slotted rotors are made of better metal than OEM"? "cleaning the gunk will make you stop faster!" Enjoy your super hard braking slotted rotors if you wanna pat yourself on the back, but dont try to make everyone else dumber along the way
