In the process of upgrading my brakes, was wondering whats better in terms of stopping power? Blanks or slotted? Drilled is not an option for obvious reasons.
Now i've done my research and its been 50/50, some say there's no difference in stopping power, and pads these days don't emit gas so we don't need slotted. It some say it also reduces surface area for braking and it eats away pads like a cheese grater. However, i've also heard it reduces fade, and cleans the pads giving it a new surface for it to grab on, and also better initial biting point due to the slots.... :S
As for blanks... well, better surface area and pad life, but more prone to fade and glazing which causes warping?
Driving is mostly daily, but i do enjoy the occasional spirited drives on the highway and on the mountains/twisties. :angel:
