The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) III

happytheman · 01-28-2013, 07:57 PM

Ok, so ima ask the age-old question just to see what the general response is:
In a non-tracked situation, where heat dissipation is not a concern, do cross-drilled/slotted rotors perform any better than OEM? One might make the argument that the reater surface area of the OEM rotor might provide better stopping power.

Next question: Can any of you tell me if they personally have (or know someone that has) cracked a rotor that was slotted/drilled? Those that have the Z1-proffered drilled/slotted rotors attest to their composition quality?

I'm just trying to make an educated decision on the mod.

Thanks for your input.

The slotted ones look really cool

Happy why are you posting a relevent post here? LOL I would say in a non-track situation there is no reason to go with cross drilled and vented. I personally never had a cross drilled rotor crack but have seen pics of full race rotos cracking in dirt track racing under very extreme conditions. i.e. frequent full brake applies with short cooling times.

I have slotted rotors. From what I understand, cross-drilled rotors have a tendency to crack. That's not something I would want to risk.

I believe slotting and drilling are about keeping the rotors cool in extreme conditions, but I could be wrong.

I'm on the forum very rarely anymore. Can't browse from work. Have better things to do at home, usually.
