Slotted rotorsssss
#16
It's been raining here lately and I've finally gotten some time to test them in non-ideal conditions, including one emergency stop (crested a hill and there was a car stopped trying to turn left onto a side road), and I've been very pleased.
I can't say the dusting problem is any better than stock though. I'm wondering if a plain (not slotted, drilled or dimpled) rotor would work better for reducing dusting since there would be no edges to cut into the pad like there are with slotted, drilled or dimpled rotors. I think I'll try that next time around.

1 word. nightmare. Got the front rotors and pads put on yesterday, along with the calipers painting. not only did it take 5 hrs to do, the rotors are warped. the brake peddle pulsates when applying pressure. everything was done correctly with my buddy who has installed brakes multiple times. Gonna have my mechanic check it out tomorrow just in case. I am told that about 25% of the time aftermarket rotors will be sent out warped. they are either stacked too high in the warehouse, dropped, not smoothed 100%, or whatever. im pissed. We did everything from compressing the pistons back down, and packing the bearings and all that fun stuff. Left a message for Damon at Tire rack who sold me the stuff, but hasnt called me back yet. The only thing i know that we need to change, but is no big deal, is the nut behind the cotter pin needs to be slightly loose to keep the bearings from over heating. That should have no effect on the brakes pulsating. so, there is it. As of now, im rollin around with warped brand new slotted rotors. awesome.
