Oh.....I understand this is the part of the forum where constructive criticism = sarcasm + personal attacks.

Thanks for the clarification!

LOL....I don't see the personal attacks you speak of. The people in this forum tell it like it is, and if it's bling we'll say so. If that makes the comments personal attacks I guess we have a different view of what a personal attack is. There may be some sarcasm but it's all in good fun. Hell, we rag on each other a hell of a lot more than we do people who are new or just visiting this forum. As far as drilled or slotted rotors, they're big time bling yo.......

krazik

eh, get some thicker skin. There was not a single personal attack here.

there was contrustrive cristism in here. Sure we laugh at some of you too, thats part of the hazing and part of the keeping this forum free of asshats.

If you want to improve street performance, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR ROTORS! We put slotted, drilled rotors on my girlfriends 04 and it does not break nearly as well as it did with stock rotors. The reason that the Ferraris and Porsches stop better is because they have MUCH LARGER rotors. The larger size and calpier surface makes up for the holes and slots in the rotors.

krazik

yeah ferarri and pcars put holes in -only- because their customers demand it, which then causes them to make them bigger to handle the reduced mass and surfase area.

that and to retain good wet performance... Mercedes just started putting drilled rotors on their cars for wet performance reasons.

krazik

you're kidding right? do they run drums??!

in the wet the problem is going to be the traction between the tire and the asphalf, not between the caliper and rotor.

kitwetzler

No, seriously. Look at a new s-Class... drilled rotors. They use a lot less holes than a usual "performance" drilled rotor but that's the reason they are there... wet weather. Did you know that some mercedes had/have a rain sensor that lightly drags the brakes in the rain, to make sure you can stop in time?
