DONT MEAN TO BASH YOU GUYS. (Matt/blackfox)
Okay, Matt and BlackFox5.0, I dont care how smart you think you are. But if you think that a full rotor (non-slotted/dimpled) is better because it has more surface area you are flat out wrong. Slotted/dimpled rotors are better. Unless you want to show me some actually tests Matt and BlackFox5.0 and anyone else, you HAVE to quit giving false information..
So here i go....
Why slotted/dimpled rotors are better?
1. Non Slotted/dimpled dont release as much heat, i dont care what kind of pads you have, the more heat, the worse the braking. The whole point of Slotted/dimpled is to cool the brakes.
2. You say that a Non Slotted/dimpled has more surface area for breaking and that is why they are better thats wrong to.
The holes and slots give the Brakes better grabbing ability to slow down and like they pointed out above, less mass.....
To prove my point, why do you think brake pads with dimpled/slotted rotors where out faster? You'd think since they'd have less surface area they would wear out slower, but they dont! NEWSFLASH, they grab better and wear out faster because they are better with braking. More of the pad gets scraped off because they grab the slots/dimples better.
Also, they have less mass, which of course = better braking.
Any questions?
The only drawback is the cracking/ warping.......of the slotted rotos. In that case, send them back, the manufacturer is either a POS or the product was, get a new one!!!
I'm talking budget mostly, for this post and the post below.
