I tell you that on my Toyota Avalon, the braking distance was reduced greatly, same pads, but granted, new rotors It was on a 60-0 stop, friend was in the car, and it was a HUGE improvement, we were both surprised. Then again, maybe it was other factors? (God knows there are a lot)

On the flip side, drilled and slotted rotors look ******* fantastic.

Oh, 2pc rotors are a whole different ball game. That's not a placebo effect. They are lighter, and that makes the car happy. I was just talking about one piece rotors. You went with the baller rotors.

You guys forgot one thing. With the better grade of rotor. They are made with a better grade of cast iron. With that, you have a higher fiction coefficient = better stopping.

Because once you have enough power to lock up the brakes (no matter what compound the braking system is made from,) the tires mean more in ability or feet it takes to stop
