slotted rotors

[Chris32]

Just a quick question - are slotted rotors worth having?

I have slotted rotors at the moment, but I am replacing my front brakes with R33 GTSt brakes

I can get new standard rotors for around $100ea, or slotted DBA 4000 for $260ea

Either way I will be using Racebrake RB74 pads, which I am told, Racebrakes don't reccomend using them with slotted rotors?

Cheers, Chris

I always use slotted rotors, they clean up the pads, stop the little balls from rolling around under the pads and reducing the CoF. I have yet to find a set of drilled rotors that can handle the punishment though.

Was it Race Brakes that told you about the RB74s...cause it goes against what they did to my brakes, bigger slotted rotors with RB74s...and they have never skipped a beat:)

About to give Comp 9s a run to see how they compare,

I bought slotted DBA 4000's for my GTR for 231 each. $260 is too much mate, call Discpads.com.au

yeah, I have slotted rotors with RB74 pads (front) and slotted with Comp3 pads rear, never had any drama, it's a good set-up.

I am going from what a mate was told, as he got some pads off them, but from memory they said that they will work just as well with normal rotors, but I think I will go slotted anyhow, I will chase up a few prices on the DBA 4000's, if anyone knows of/or can get me them at a good price, please let me know

I'm running RB74 with DBA4000 and I love my brakes.

i used either Winmax Sport pads or Endless NA-R pads depending on what tyres i was on, on std R32 GT-R discs with R32 GT-R calipers. Then I added Endless/ZEAL Straight6 slotted rotors to my brake setup. There was a marked improvement in pedal feel, stopping distance and also resistance to fade when i added the slotted brake discs, especially on trackdays. would definitely recommend slotted discs to an enthusiast.

Like I said Discpads.com.au have good prices for all DBA products.

Although the RBA slotted rotors are a lot cheaper, with my full set of slotted fronts and plain rears coming in at $560. I use the RB74's and they are a good pad on the track with no fade yet with the backing shims removed and MOTUL DOT5.1 fluid. They are down to about 3mm now and are in need of replacement as they are getting very hard to control easily (not much pressure form slowing to locking).
