Re: Best brake rotor design?

what you failed to mention on all of these is that they wear pads really fast. the cross drilled holes/slotted areas will actually shave part of your pad off with every rotation. i am kinda old school when it comes to brakes but i just stick to the smooth rotors. i normally end up going into napa (i know not the best parts store but i can put it on my familys account so parts are free) and get their top of the line upgraded pads/rotors. ive talked to plenty of guys with cross drilled/slotted rotors who have said that the $100 + that they spent on the rotors just wasnt worth it...you decide though, they do look cooler and give the perception of better braking...
