Are slotted rotors better than regular rotors?
When compared to standard rotors, the drilled and slotted rotors tend to offer enhanced gripping experience, and it is more responsive and has an efficient performance when it comes to the braking system. The holes help in boosting friction efficiency between the pad and disc significantly.
How much do rotors cost NZ?
Expect prices to start around $350 for a cheap and easy job. It should be noted that prices can climb to well over $1000 if 2 or more need replacing on a performance/European car.
Do slotted rotors wear pads faster?
However, just driving normally, drilled and slotted rotors may wear pads slightly faster, especially if new rotors have and burrs or inconsistencies that would gouge the pad surface, though that’s not really a problem that you should have to deal with unless you’re talking about the cheapest import rotors you can buy.
Are slotted rotors noisy?
They are definitely a little noisier than the smooth stock discs, which is obvious due to the surface being less even. However it is still rather discreet and I can’t see how anyone would be bothered by this. My new Performance Friction BBK however (slotted discs) has a turbine-like sound when I brake.
Are Repco brake rotors any good?
Repco rotors are a high quality cast iron rotor with an extensive range to fit most popular vehicles. Repco Brake Rotors are manufactured to match OE quality at a better price. Repco rotors are a high quality cast iron rotor with an extensive range to fit most popular vehicles.

What are the benefits of slotted rotors?
Slotted rotor grooves offer two distinct benefits under heavy braking: brake fade, from high-temperature brake pad outgassing, can be significantly reduced, allowing gases to escape through the slots; and the grooves shave off thin layers of brake pad material, reducing glazing and improving braking consistency.
How long do slotted brakes last?
On average, you can expect to replace your slotted and drilled rotors between 25,000 to 35,000 miles.
Can you use ceramic brake pads with slotted rotors?
Ceramic pads work fine on cross drill slotted rotors. Ceramic pads tend to last longer than metallic pads and score the rotors less. Under extreme braking conditions, a ceramic pad will dissipate heat and cool down faster than a metallic pad.
What are slotted brake rotors?
Slotted brake rotors have always been a great alternative for improving braking without the drilled holes. Brake Performance created this kit to give improved stopping power over factory rotors while reducing heat, noise, pad fade and brake dust.
What is the brake performance dimpled and slotted brake kit?
The Brake Performance Dimpled and Slotted Brake Kit is engineered to give incredible stopping power over factory rotors while reducing heat, noise, pad fade and brake dust. All slots on our rotors are curved and strategically machined off the edge of the rotor to dramatically improve braking performance up to 30% over factory stock brake rotors.
What do the brake rotors come in pairs of?
The Dimpled drilled and slotted brake rotors included in the kit are sold in pairs. The rotors come zinc coated in either black or silver to help prevent rusting and give you a performance race look.
What are the best performance brake rotors for my vehicle?
Evolution Drilled, Slotted, & Zinc Plated Rotors are the most popular performance upgrade rotors PowerStop offers. The rounded slots sweep away gas and debris to provide smooth, safe braking while beveled drill holes keep those brake temperatures down when you need it most.
