Whose got Slotted/Cross Drilled Rotors?

[Jon325i]

And slots will accelerate the pad wear.

As I have learned at a track day. Go with the consensus OP, stick with stock OEM blanks and thrash them as you want. Replacements are über reasonable cost-wise.

Had ebay cross drilled before, still regret not taking them off the wrecked car. Daily driving, you'll never notice much of a difference.


But blanks are much cheaper, last I checked PBR all 4 were under $55 and Brembo were $80

[smonkbmw]

brembo blanks and step up to better pads i.e. hawks, mintex, ebc or whatever.

I've got crossed drilled rotors on my daily driver e36 and....never again....

The PO of my car tracked on Zimmerman cross drilled and never reported any problems, maybe he was just slow?

I bought slotted rotors for bling.

There. I said it.

When did you install them?

About 30k ago or so (I don't beat on the car, mostly daily shit, some floggings but rarely). I was running w/ pagid "fast street" pads (I think)

Are you fucking retarded or just arrogant? I was merely stating something I was about to do to my brake system to contribute to the thread and see if my results would be of some service. Fucking trolling? Your the lil bitch that's trolling you cock eyed waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. Oh and btw I don't see how I'm bombing on Lee's input from having a different set of rotors then what he run's (I don't even have a problem with him).
Suck it KishG

just arrogant.. go install your blingey cross drilled, slotted ass rotors and drive your POS off a cliff you retard.

Zing!

anyone who's pushed their car on a track knows better than to put slotted/drilled rotors on a car that didn't already come with them (IE half million dollar ferrari/porsche).

otherwise it's just as bad as those fake BBK hubcaps.

Bought drilled/slotted rotors for my e36 328i from TMS. Had the car for a year and a half without a problem. Sold the car to a friend two years ago and the rotors are still on it with no warp etc. Intend to go slotted/drilled on my Massive kit as well. I have seen my mechanic with drilled/slotted rotors on his racecar; zero problems.

that's great, but the fact is slotted/drilled rotors have less mass than solid rotors, and on an E30 with tiny stock brakes, you need all the mass that you can get.

and what you did on a street car has no bearing on what happens on the track. your brakes are never worked hard on the street, of course they should last a long time.

The OP did not say anything about track use; until I have seen a failure on the race car with slotted/drillrd rotors I will hold onto my opinion.

With my first e30 I had them and the second track day I went too (4 months of having them) they cracked.

I got some Powerslots for cheap and haven't really noticed any difference good or bad. Will swap over when I get around to putting new struts in and new pads. (have new blanks waiting in the garage)
