I have aftermarket brake pads and i was woundering should i go with a slotted rotor? I have heard of bad things happen with them? can someone let me know what brand they would use where i can get some?



Thanks

I would do a little searchy..... I'm pretty sure that I've heard that they dont work well because there is less surface area on them and as a result, they heat up faster and cause ur rotors to warp easier.....

slotted rotors evacuate heat and gases faster from between the pad and rotor and are not any more likely to warp than stock rotors

They're MORE likely to warp than blank face rotors because the slots cause a temperature gradient across the face. They're also more likely to develop stress risers and cracks, and are less effective at stopping than a blank.

hah I always go with the cheapest pads + cheapest rotors, no point of getting high performance **** for daily driving unless u do alot of mountain driving

You will get what you pay for when it comes to OE replacement brake rotors and pads

yesss they'r much cheaper and perform same on the street, high performance pads need to heat up to perform well so unless u do track racing I don't see a point in having those, sloted rotors are more likely to warp as Boilermaker said, so yes I think itz a waste of money for a daily driver, I would understand having them on a turbo civic or a 200+ hp car tho.

You missed my point, CHEAP pads and rotors, as in south east asia imports are JUNK and you get what you pay for!!
