Are cross drilled and slotted rotors better?
Are cross drilled and slotted rotors better?
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
How long do cross drilled and slotted rotors last?
between 25,000 to 35,000 miles
On average, you can expect to replace your slotted and drilled rotors between 25,000 to 35,000 miles.
Why drilled rotors are bad?

What’s the best brake pads to use with drilled and slotted rotors?
Ceramic pads work fine on cross drill slotted rotors. Metallic pads will work just as well, up to a point. Ceramic pads tend to last longer than metallic pads and score the rotors less. Under extreme braking conditions, a ceramic pad will dissipate heat and cool down faster than a metallic pad.

Do cross drilled rotors make noise?
When braking, cross-drilled and slotted rotors tend to make noise. A small popping noise is normal, as this is the sound of the pad going over the slots/holes. Unless you have full race brakes, a squealing sound is not normal.
Do slotted rotors make clicking noise?
Slotted rotors will click and there is nothing you can do about it. If you don’t like the noise go back to blanks.
Are drilled discs worth it?
Drilled discs can cool down quicker than standard discs due to the increase in surface area. They also allow for quick expulsion of the gases, meaning you won’t experience brake fade as quickly as you would on standard discs.
