Are cross drilled and slotted rotors better?
Slotted rotors do not improve any heat transfer. However, the slots can improve brake output by removing gas and dust that is trapped between the pad and rotor. Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving.Click to see full answer….

Also asked, do cross drilled and slotted rotors make a difference?Most of our customers will not notice a difference in stopping performance from the brake rotor, but rather from the brake pads. The advantages from cross drilled and slotted rotors comes during extremely hard and repetitive braking such as in competition use.Also Know, do slotted rotors wear pads faster? You wind up with a weaker brake pad that costs you more money. Ironically these drilled rotors are often worse with heat than a solid rotor! Drilled & slotted rotors also have a cheese grater effect on pads. So everything wears out faster. Keeping this in consideration, are drilled and slotted rotors better? Slotted rotors also aid in the expulsion of built up brake dust, significantly more so than a drilled rotor. Additionally, slotted rotors are stronger and less prone to cracking compared to drilled rotors as the structural integrity of the slotted rotors is not compromised during the machining process.Are drilled and slotted rotors good for daily driving?DRILLED rotors are better for your daily driving because they are less prone to warping or getting high spots and they are usually easier on brake pads, but they do not perform as well under extreme braking as Slotted.
