O.K. so disc brake performance has so many different aspects. Add your experiances and wisdom to the question below
Starting with the solid vrs. vented... venting, heat, weight, stopping performance, off gasing, strength My main question is what exactly are the performance pro's & cons of each: A] slotted B] dimpled C] cross drilled Summit refered to this and it made my wonder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

However, since the newer brake compounds generally don't outgas the way they did years ago this feature is not exactly needed. I would stray anyone away from drilled rotors simply due to how often they crack. A nice slotted rotor will dissipate heat and stay stronger longer. Just my $.02 Thomas |
