Slotted or Drilled and Slotted

[Dnice11]

Im torn between slotted rotors or drilled and slotted rotors, I need brakes asap got that annoying squeek and noise going on and bout to get the car inspected so i need help?

I have slottred rotors on my car and they work really well. I wish I got the drilled and slotted ones only for the looks. I cant imagine experiencing much better performance especially since mine is not a race car. The drilled was more expensive.

If you are going to be tracking your car and using it hard i would prefer slotted only. If your car is a daily driver and used for moderate to soft braking then you can go with slotted and driller or either. From my personal experience, drilled rotors dont last very long when ran hard(my brembo drilled rotors on my track lude crack every year). My drilled on my CB that i use for DD are starting to show cracks now after 7 years. My old track car used slotted disks and I have never had any issues.

I have drilled. I race sprintcars and I've never seen someone use slotted rotors, and they get glowing on sprintcars. Drilled rotors are used to disperse heat better and the holes make them lighter.

slotted works best on the street. You don't need drilled rotors for stopping on the street, they'll be too cool and won't allow the pads to warm up properly. Powerslots work well.

There has been much speculation as to whether drilling and slotting rotors makes them perform better. For the street, it really doesn't matter.

As said above, if you run them really hard, drilled will crack before anything else.


Regardless, get GOOD rotors. Don't get cheap crap. Brembo is a very good choice.


I personally have slotted and drilled Brembos. They've been seriously abused for a LONG time, and I've had no warping or cracking. I even had a pad down to the metal for a short time!

i have drilled and slotted brembos in my car, had them for almost 4years and they are still good

i got R1 concepts drilled and slotted on my accord and i love them, way better braking power!

i just got stock brakes but my friend had drilled and slotted brakes. he hated them.

they warped very fast and only had them for 4 months.
yes they stopped him quite fast but they cracked and warped on him.

i was planning on getting slotted. they maintain strength and will still keep the brakes cool and improve stopping power.

i got drilled /slotted on my 90 for 1 1/2 years and so far so good. i don't autocross or drive like a maniac either. and they were Ebay specials too and they are still in good shape , no warping or cracking !

[wed3k]

i have to say powerslots are awesome.

Dimpled....?

Powerslot Blanks....?

I have to agree, unless you're gonna be doing som serious shit, slotted/drilled wont be necessary. I think some Brembo Slotted will do just fine.

Over 5.5 years for me


Drilled and slotted are actually WORSE for "serious shit"... because they'll crack. At least drilled will. The serious race cars that use such brakes usually don't run them for more than a race or two, I'm sure.

It's funny... the import world LOVES Powerslot. The Grand Prix guys have nothing but bad things to say... warpage like crazy. Then again, they're stopping 3600lb cars...



I say Brembos. You can't go wrong with ANY Brembos.


And if a set of quality rotors warps quickly... it's probably not the rotor. It's most likely the driver.

[F22HB]

Yeah, I agree with what Deev said. Quality is the key in whatever rotor you choose. The rotors used that I was refering to were typicaly titanium and extremely high quality.
