Thread: OEM Brakes or Drilled/Slotted Rotors For Winter?

Okay Im looking at doing brakes on my 2005 Grand Prix SE. Which is my daily driver and is winter driven - in Michigan.

Any how I really love the factory Drilled Brakes on my GXP. I was curious what you guys would recommend for my SE? Are Drilled/Slotted rotors fine in the winter? I was looking at a set from BrakeMotive or R1Concepts or would just factory OEM's be better in the snow/ice?

Do you have a personal preference or experience in the winter? My GXP has never seen winter so I don't know how the drilled rotors would perform in the winter/snow/ice.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

plain.

slotted and drilled can corrode in the holes in the surface then cause noise.

I run drilled. I live in buffalo. They worked the same as they did in summer.
