Short of replacing your braking system for a big brake kit, Power Stop's cross-drilled and slotted Extreme Performance rotors provide maximum braking performance without breaking the bank. Dyno tests on a vented Mustang rotor show a heat reduction of 50-200 degrees Fahrenheit when comparing a Power Stop cross-drilled and slotted rotor to the OE.
Rotor strength. Braking performance. Noise levels when braking. If you are looking for a better car braking performance and longer brake pad life, drilled and slotted rotors may be the best option for you. However, if you are concerned about the strength of your rotor or the amount of noise your brakes make, standard rotors may be a better choice. Joined Jan 15, 2006. 4,328 Posts. #7 · Feb 22, 2011. In my experience it really doesn't matter slotted vs. drilled, when it comes to cracking. Any deviation in surface thickness will act as a stress riser and make the part more prone to cracking. All you're really doing is picking where you want the rotor to crack.

Slotted rotors are similar, but they also have slots cut into them. This allows the brakes to grab hold of the spinning rotor much more easily. Direction Do Cross Drilled Rotors Go Rotors can be drilled in one of two directions – clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on their orientation when the rotor was manufactured. Cracking is not exclusive to drilled rotors. After I went to drilled rotors I got 17000 miles between pad changes. The rotors did start to crack on the 3rd set of pads and I switched to slotted rotors. Same miles of 17000 per pad change but better rotor life. A side effect of the drilled rotors was a slightly longer time to get the brakes up to. 151 Posts. #2 · Jun 18, 2019. I have slotted and cross-drilled rotors on two of my vehicles. On my GTO the rotors and pads cost $2,000 for parts only, for a set of four. On my Jeep. Slotted cross drilled rotors and pads cost me $400 for a set of four. Quite a difference in price.
.. Cross-drilled and slotted rotors give the maximum braking performance under all necessary driving conditions. Precision machined holes or slots on the rotors will allow hot gases from brake pads to escape quickly to prevent skidding or locking up. The quick response from pads to rotors will allow for improvement in stopping power.
What brake pads are best for drilled and slotted rotors? Ceramic pads work fine on cross drill slotted rotors. Metallic pads will work just as well, up to a point. Ceramic pads tend to last longer than metallic pads and score the rotors less. Power Sport Cross Drilled Slotted Brake Rotors and Ceramic Brake Pads Kit -80562 [Front & Rear] Visit the Power Sport Store. 4.8 out of 5 stars 41 ratings. When braking, cross-drilled and slotted rotors tend to make noise. A small popping noise is normal, as this is the sound of the pad going over the slots/holes. Unless you have full race brakes, a squealing sound is not normal. Do you need special brake pads for drilled and slotted rotors?.
Mike Skelly of Wilwood offered us a little history on the origin of drilled rotors. As road racing tires allowed greater track speeds in the 1960s, race teams began seeing a great loss in brake capability. In that era of organic and asbestos based pad friction material, a problem occurred with the adhesives used to fasten the pad to the steel backing plates. I've had Power Stop cross-drilled and slotted rotors on my 2001 Oldsmobile [car] for several years now.

Usually happens when you heat up the rotors hot and then get some water on them (IE: puddle) or snow, slush, etc. I've ruined a set myself, and now only ever go for slotted, or dimpled and slotted rotors. Crossed drilled rotors and slotted rotors (and rotors that are both slotted and drilled) are designed to allow gases to escape that build up between the brake pad and brake rotor. This allows your brakes to run cooler and stop.
Turning cross-drilled and slotted brake rotors is a complex process requiring professional efficiency. Some people commonly believe that they can turn the rotors in their garage, but it is hazardous. That is because, when DIYing the turning process, you can reduce the rotor's density to a minimum thickness level, increasing their.
