Well I need new front rotors and I want to go ahead and upgrade them. I've heard so many different opinions on whether or not to get drilled and slotted rotors or just slotted rotors. So what do you guys think, which are better?

I think drilled and slotted can look a bit be careful since drilling a rotor = some weakening (unless they're really thick but those are $$$) Posted but you gotta be careful since....

Can't we find some vendor to help us mass are a real bargain.
Reduction of a standard rotor it'd be a nice drop in rotational mass for you.

So remember how they talked about glazing? the slots help wipe away the glazed layer .
The more aggressive the pad, the more it's going to eat the rotor rotor temps as high as 1700*f on a mustang.
Compounds well and they're durable.

Hi guys,
I was talking to this vendor on the forums about getting some 2 piece rotors made for the Mazda3, some of us that autocross/track our car are looking for any kind of weight saving to help us get faster. Not only do these save weight, rotational...

I've got regular Friction Master MKD748 pads up front that have just...

I thought this was a nice read. If it's a repost someone please delete.
Cliffnotes: Slotted/drilled = for looks except for a few rare cases which shouldn't apply if you're on this forum.

They are much less prone to warping to a lot of controversy... .
Top end cars that seem to have drilled rotor have the holes cast in the manufacture of the rotor.
After market drilled rotors are just that; drilled.
Weakening the rotor.
