Slotted rotors are fine! Very different from drilled. Youāll find they eat your pads faster than blanks but not to the point where its bad.I am not going to get into the performance aspect of it. But I will share my positive experience with these slotted rotors below when I upgraded my GT to Brembos on my S197. They looked awesome and were quiet and never warped. (This was a daily though).

thanks for the recommendation, I guess I shouldāve waited and posted a thread before buying the drilled ones. But at least now I know for the future. They look sick on the car too.
Shops usually donāt want to work on drilled because their tool can easily break@5.0Vonn not sure about your cooling/braking question, but this I know:
Recently had 2 sets of rotors turned/cut. A 2016 350R front drilled set, and 2020 GT500 front solid set. Even though the 500s are bigger, the 350Rs were more expensive to have redone. A lot more. More than double.
Also, Ford got away from the drilled rotors on the later year 350s. Something about cost/benefit. YMMV.
so has Boeing been building the 737 family.I've been doing it for 34 years...!
and chips cutting edges. Typically also means much longer operation since the speed of rotation and cutter advance rate has to be lowered.Shops usually donāt want to work on drilled because their tool can easily break
I think they look great and that you shouldn't concern yourself with what other people think. If they don't work for you, I'm confident that you'll figure out what works best on your own.I just changed my rotors to Drilled and slotted rotors, Iām curious to see if thereās much of a difference in cooling/braking power. Any thoughts?
this is the Internet. Name/credential dropping is how we roll. SME is decidely optionalI'm an engineer, but I'm also not Michael Schumacher, nor am I a race brake engineer so...

The engineers would know when they've been outvoted by the marketing department, and shushed by the bean counters.Yeah, I do.
Drilled rotors from factory on viper, ferrari and both porsches. Boxster Spyder is sitting outside.
What would the engineers at the OEMs know about drilled rotors?
One has to wonder why the Ford engineers (yeah, those guys again) decided to make non-drilled rotors obsolete in 2018, and the 2019-2022 Shelbys had factory OEM smooth rotors for both the GT350 & the GT500.Expensive, sporty cars come with cheese-grater brakes when the right people decide its fashionable.
