RacingBrake.com Two-piece Disc Surface Finish


Type of Finish Advantages Remarks
Disadvantages
 

Slotted Only
Straight Slot

- Helps the gas to escape
- Keeps disc surface cleaner
- Easy to produce
Preferred by track racers because the public believes that slotted rotors will not crack like drilled rotors.
- Debris builds up and clogs the slot
Debris Buildup
 

Drilled or Drilled & Slotted
Drilled & Slotted

- Provides better cooling and pad bite
- Gives "racer's" look
The public often believes that drilled discs tend to crack.  Our experience reveals that cracking is primarily caused by the use of inadequate material. Most brake rotor manufactures drill from aftermarket stock blanks, instead of drilling rotors made of performance material like ours.
- Reduces friction surface
- Pads wear out faster
Debris Drilled & Slotted

- Has the advantages of both drilled & slotted rotors
- Retains more friction surface
- Slots relieves thermal stress
- Slots are self cleaning and the pad build up will not clog the slots
- Reduces brake pad dust buildup and keeps the wheel clean through vacuum effect
- Patented design (US Patent #: 7,097,007).

- This design optimizes the friction between the pads and disc surface and achieves the highest level of braking performance that no other designs can provide.
