Well if this hasn't been covered a million times I don't know what has. This is a total search topic, Terry your just post whoring today.
Slotted are usually better than cross drilled but cost more. Cross drilled are better than blanks but some will argue how much better. I have cross drilled, if I could I would have got slotted, but both are fine. Benefits at the track, well combined with a good pad you'll stop faster (or lock up your brakes faster) depending. Bad things on the street, usually they will eat a pad faster and thus more dust, but this isn't always the case, pads play a huge roll in braking, more so than rotors do. But a bigger rotor usually allows for faster cooling (if its ampally supplied with air), cross drilled rotors aslo cool fairly quick. |

the diffrence is in the venting and cooling,
if i were building a track car i might go cross drilled, but i'm always gonna be partial to slotted.
in order to use crossdrilled properly you need alot of heat imo.
i also like the way slotted vents gasses opposed to the crossdrilled. |

cheapest blanks
cheaper slotted
cheap cross drilled
and even cheaper blanks taht you drill on your own.
when getting cross drilled make sure it is manufactured by reputable shop
if cross drilled are cheaper than slotted then be vary as it could have been blanks just with holes drilled in it
usually cross drilled are bit larger in diameter as well |
