Thread: Front brake rotors warped (again)

What about going with some Brembo slotted and cross drilled rotors? I've heard pros and cons to cross drilled rotors. I've heard to stay away from the ones with cast holes and cast slots. Brembo's are drilled holes and machined slots.
Anyone ever use these? Better braking? Worse braking? Do they really not heat up as much as OE rotors as they claim (200 degree reduction in rotor heat - really?).

Slotted rotors do run cooler, But Brembo brakes and rotors run coller for the simple fact that you have more surface area and mass to the rotors on Brambos. Thermodynamics comes in to play and transference of heat is not as rapid and the rotors will stay cooler. If it was me, I would focus on driving habbits and maybe purchase lifetime warranty brakes and rotors from your local autoparts store. You will be out your time but not money when you have to take them back every 15 to 20K miles.

It's my wife's daily driver

I may check into some life time rotors and pads - great idea!!!

I not sure if they have life time rotors, but pads I am sure of.
