@NGG1983 3 жыл бұрын

a lot of track guys dont use drilled or slotted rotors because they're more likely to suffer cracking. also they lower your braking surface area overall. basically people just think they look cool and that's why they exist, lol

@trillrifaxegrindor4411 3 жыл бұрын

thats more for "prettiness"

@chrisrcarraher8800 2 жыл бұрын

Drilled rotors are bad, the holes create a weak point to crack once put through extreme heat cycles. However, the slots are good for trapped gasses to escape allowing even brake pad contact.
