im just wondering which are better slotted rotors, if anyone has any input let me know thanks

 

your talking about the generic one piece brembos right? not cap and rotor.

i cant say you will notice a difference, they are almost identical.

one piece ebay rotors are just fine. might rust though. not sure how much plating helps.

 

Plating is a gimmick.

 

Proper plating prevents the hub area of the rotor from rusting and looking ugly over time. It's not a gimmick.

 

Mine were cadmium plated and it didn't help a bit. Got them from KVR Performance. Maybe they scammed me and didn't plate them, or did a crappy job. Good rotors though.

 

I don't have any firsthand experience with cadmium plated rotors but it should hold up if done properly. Lots of hardware on cars is cadmium plated and it doesn't rust.

Cadmium plating will have a dull silver finish and be very smooth. Zinc plating will be a goldish color. Neither will corrode.

 

That's why I think maybe it wasn't done.

 

Power Slot rotors are made in China. I would stay away from them. I got a set of slotted and cad plated rotors for my FC from Power Stop. Power Stop is a devision of TRW, they are made in the US. Stamped on the edge of the rotor was the Brembo name and logo. This leads me to believe that Power Stop makes the rotors for Brembo. I run them with Hawk HP pads and they work great.

i found some Rotora slotted rotors with rust free hub area for a good deal, the look great and i couldnt beat the price, and ive heard several good things about the rotora's. gonna be running them with Hawk HP+ pads

 

I hate it when companies use similar names to other well established companies to sell their product, ie Power Slot after Power Stop.

 

I was told powerslot is made by brembo

 

I certaintly don't want to **** on the huge bowl of cereal served at this table,...but,..why is it that most Hi-Performance car manufacturers like Porsche, Lotus, MB, Ferrari, Lambo', even Chevy (the new C6) ,.. etc,..etc,..install Cross-Drilled "only" rotors on their vehicles, as opposed to slotted rotors???

I know most of you would argue that CD Rotors do nothing more than to enhance the look of the vehicle. That they are inferior compared to slotted or standard rotors. But most of these vehicles are sold for 6 figures and are built to run at speeds that exceed 150 mph??

There's got to be something more to the CD Rotor mania??

Anyway, I don't mean to ruffle your feathers, but if you want to pluck mine,...start pluckin

 

This is an age old debate, but the fact remains that CD rotors will crack and fail under extreme abuse, IE HPDE or racing. Major manufacturers sell CD rotors on 6 figure cars because (as it was put in a thread on the 3rd gen forum by another member) the average joe thinks that CD rotors = performance, and that the holes cool them down faster, which is a common misconception. The drilled holes are mearly a carry over from early braking technology when the old pads generated so much gas that there needed to be a way to vent it quickly. Modern pads don't gas as much and the need is only to sweep away the dust. In fact, the less material in a disk, the slower it will cool down and there is less mass to absorb the heat.

CD rotors are fine for street use, but that's as far as I'd trust them.

 

Not another thread turned into the slotted vs. cross drilled argument. Were we discussing the difference between slotted and drilled rotors? I seem to remember countless threads discussing this. Search: drilled vs slotted
