Hello all

I just want to ask what is the differences between slot brakes and drilled brakes??? Which one is better??? Which one is more expensive??? Because I saw on Brembo site and they have both kinds. Thank you for the helps

 

For most people (daily drivers and non-hardcore track racers):

Blanks > Slotted > Drilled

 

if you do a search yo may find out some more info, but i got brembo blanks. slotted/drilled stock sized rotors are more for look than performance.

 

So the slotted or drilled brake are not better than the blank brakes??? They are just for looks and shows right??? I thoughts that the slotted and drilled brake helps the brakes to cool down faster with those holes and so the brake won't fade. Maybe I am wrong. Can you help me pleaseee thanks you

 

yes it can help it cool, but rotors are designed to dissipate heat which takes mass. if you have a stock sized rotor and cut away material you know have less mass and less heat can dissipate which leads to warping and cracking.

i also remembering reading that crossdrilling was done back in the 1950s to cure a problem related to asbestos in the pad material in racing applications. asbestos is not used anymore, but people like the look.

now if you willing to spend $2,000 on a big brake upgrade that's a whole different ball game. those rotors were designed to be like that and can handle the heat.
