Slotted VS Drilled VS Both

Sorry, a newbie question from me, what are the advantages of each?

Is a combination of slotted and drilled necessairly better than only slotted or only drilled?

Thanks guys! ;)

Are you talking about brake disc?

slotted and drilled work much better at reducing heat from your discs thus better endurance braking…the biggest problem thow unless your disc's are made from very expensive metal or a very expensive brand you will find more cheap slotted and drilled rotors such as dba will crack....which is why some people just go after slotted.
On the other hand get some brimbo slotted and drilled rotors and they will work perfectly every day, but will be 5x the price.

You're not wrong... :P

OMG Ben are u planning on gettin sum fooley sick slotted discs on ur next 200sx ? Hmm....

So I've heard drilled may crack, and slotted may decrease the life of the pads prematurely? True?

Ben: Hahaha I'm just learning things :)

dont cheapo ones warp as well under high braking because of the heat or something?

i was under the impression that a lot of the cross drilled rotors where for show purposes ..

and even the dba site states that u should drive hard on those rotors...

my stock dc2 rotors ****ed up due to ART pads ..

and now im using slotted spoon rotors up front .. with stock pads..
i think its enough for my applications =P

Are your discs warped when your brakes vibrate the crap outta the car when slowng down from 200 to 100 or is that another factor ? :?

reducing heat - the more holes/slots in the disc the cooler it gets :D

[QUOTE="AAnd the more holes you have the less surface are you have for effective braking.

As said, I wouldn't get cross drilled unless they are from a decent manufacturer like Brembo or Willwood's. The DBA cross drilled disks are known to crack under heavy use.

The DBA are not suitable for track use as stated on product literature.

However for street use they are fine. Had them on the car over a year nearly 2 years and there are no cracks and no warping.

i used my DBA at track, they are fine still. i await for cracks to appear

man u 4got about drum brakes dude

id go 4 those!!
they dont dust up ur mags so u dun need to clean them all the time

my personal choice
hehehe

haha i got those
