I wrote this on a different thread but it appears no one was checking it out cause its an old thread. But I need this answered before I make my decision and go get the rotors next week since I need to get this done ASAP so here it is again and I hope you guys can help me out with it
.. mostly everyone says (from what I've read and gathered in a different thread) that slotted is the best way to go and drilled is just plain trash for a daily driver.. but i was reading on howstuffworks.com and came upon an article about the difference between drilled and slotted rotors. They wrote:
"Of course, slotted brake rotors aren't perfect, either. They tend to wear down brake pads very quickly. Because of this, the most common type of performance brake rotors found on production performance cars are of the drilled variety. While that type of construction is seen as too weak for racing applications, most everyday drivers should have no trouble with drilled rotors on their street cars and can save the slotted rotors for cars that are racetrack-bound."
They wrote the pads tend to wear quickly but does the same rules apply to ceramic? any of you guys have an input on this? cause I need to change my braking application ASAP.. heres the link if you guys want to get more in depth info on what they have to say: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-p...ke-rotors2.htm
