Slotted Rotors??? Should I?
 
Just wondering if anyone has some does or donts on slotted rotters. I was thinking about putting them on my 01 supercrew(4x4) But im not sure. I do tow often. Let me know what you guys think.

go for it, if it is what you want, I dont see why you shouldn't.

Oh you mean the wear my brake pads out twice as fast and warp easier rotors? Sure if thats what you want go ahead. Unless you are over 100 MPH when the brakes are hot to use the slots to cool the rotors no advantage other than looking good and wearing out brake pads.

and u cant machine them to keep them true, so once u get the vibrations from them being warped...they are junk.

Thats exactly what i thought bu ti was only thinking that on the drilled. But thanks i will just use the stock replacments.

I would think you would have a better chance machining drilled roters than sloted.

FYI the slots cause more heat but the holes cool the rotors:thumbsup:
