    Which brake pads for slotted rotors?

    I'm doing my ROH conversion and purchased some EBC slotted rotors. Now I've done a lot of brake jobs but never on slotted rotors. My concern is I don't want to buy some brake pads that are going to eat up my (expensive) rotors.

    TIA - Gil

    EBC Green stuff pads should do it. Don't be tempted to buy Autozone's brake pads. Their semi metallic's have a much harder compound that will take a toll on the rotors. I know this first hand.

        ME TOO !...lol

        I'm just about to do the swap all the way around too....but as far as I knew the slotted rotors are designed for aggressive driving styles where a lot of heat is generated in a short time, creating a smooth, less ‘grippy’ face on the pad. The slots are there to cut away that smooth surface and expose new material. Any pad on a slotted rotor will last dramatically last less then say a blank, cross drill or a dimpled rotor.

        Seeing as you already have the slotted I gues the best choice would be a ceramic seeing as they are designed to last longer.

        See:

        Less Abrasive to Brake Rotors

        Another major advantage that ceramic brake pads have over other, cheaper quality brake pads is that they are much less abrasive and damaging towards a vehicle's brake rotors. Brake rotors, which are cylindrical-shaped metal pieces, are the parts of a vehicle's braking system that are grabbed and squeezed by a set of brake pads to affect vehicle braking. This type of braking action generally produces significant brake rotor wear and damage, damage that eventually necessitates brake rotor replacement. Ceramic brake pads, due to their smoother surface and sounder structural integrity, create less wear and damage, resulting in a longer lasting brake rotor.

        /quote

        I’m going with Zinc Coated cross drilled rotors and the company says I shouldn’t use a ceramic pad because of the coating on the rotor. I’ll just go with a metallic or organic pad. I’d rather have softer pads and get longer and less warp from my rotors.

        Zinc coating is standard at no additional cost but nickel plating is +$30 per pair.

        Hope that gives ya some info...

              Performance Friction, Hawk, Carbotech, Cobalt. Figure out what you need the pad for first though.
