>>28659028>he's able to see his brake rotors
>>28659040>he has brake rotors
>>28659023If I'm getting fancy brake discs they'd better be ATOMIC
Drilled is a meme it just makes them more likely to crack. Vented and slotted better.
>>28659043this post brought to you by drum brakes
>>28659063most performance rotors are a meme. if you're at the point where you need drilled/slotted rotors, you'll know you need them.
>>28659063Nobody on the entire board has seen a rotor split apart from being drilled. The "stress cracks" that develop around the holes are inconsequential.That being said....Drilled are stupid and provide zero advantage on a street vehicle.Formula 1 doesnt run drilled or slotted rotors (pic)
>>28659206I'm just gonna stick with napa rotors there's no benefit to any kind of aftermarket rotor for 99.9% of cars. even if you track your car regularly, the different is negligible. some wrc cars use drilled* rotors, but they also have a pit crew that changes rotors probably every fucking race
>>28659206>Stress cracks>Inconsequential Brother cracks don't just stop. Drilled rotors suck, if you want holes in your rotor they need to be cast in.
For me, it's the wavy boys
>>28659206>Formula 1 doesnt run drilled or slotted rotors (pic)because the rules tell them what they have to use
>>28659197slots can be useful for wiping off abrasive grit, but no good rotor is literally through-drilled; they are forged in place that way, or else it's trash
>>28659206Doesn't apply to Carbon-Carbon brakes anon.you can't slot C-C disks.
>>28659052Hey that's kinda cool, do they make a semitic brake rotor?
>>28659043>>28659094Based drumchads...
>>28659206>muh f1well guess what nigger maybe cars don't need fucking windsheild wipers because a wheelbarrow doesn't havr them
>>28659274Can't make a single continuous loop out of the Star of David so that's a no I'm afraid
>>28659094Brakes?
>>28659023I drilled your mothers cunt
>>28659206F1 would 100% drill rotors if they could, only for the fact that it would shave off weight.
>>28659561And reduce braking performance anon.I doubt F1 would do that at all.Holes in rotors are for looks.F1 is all function over form.
>>28659580Even with the super soft, they still lock up.
>>28659597Anon, that's at lower speeds.I can't lock up tires on my race car at 120mph.But I can at 60mphAlso, super soft tires aren't used anymore.7 years ago was the last use.
>>28659028Imagine not having sicc drilled and slotted rice rotors on your shitbox with hubcaps
>>28659690You must be 18 to post here.
>>28659735I've likely been here longer than you have been alive anon.
>>28659740It's ok Timmy. There there. Almost bedtime.
>>28659206hw did they make those holes then?
>>28659742BOT post or shit bait?Can't tell these days.Y'all have no skill.
>>28659023nah i always want slotted only but nobody ever stocks them. then when i got to order they tell me it will take a month. everytime. some sort of jewish slotted rotor racket going on
>>28659052>ATE Powerdiscs masterraceThey just shred brake pads but its worth it
>>28659023how many horsepower does that add?
>>28660372None. But it helps vent gasses from very hot pads
>>28659023Now here's the question, does anyone on /o/ drive anywhere near the level that this would make any kind of difference?
>>28659206>Nobody on the entire board has seen a rotor splitI'm >>28659063My boomer uncle who has raced spridgets since 1964 and built racecars for customers for decades used to drill rotors himself, until one customer's cracked thru the drilled holes.Like this >>28659216He kept the rotor and showed it to me but it was in like 2007 so I don't have a pic.Not worth it to drill rotors just for looks. & nobody can show data showing a significant enough improvement in lap times or braking feel that a hobbyist track user would appreciate with drilled versus not drilled. Why bother?
>>28660416I melted my pads to my rotors street driving so yeah
>>28660467You need higher temp pads, a drilled rotor wont do shit for you, at the operating temperature of regular ceramic pads, (cold to 300f) the holes and slots are places your pad isn't touching to slow the car down
>>28659283Drumfags are just larping as bandchads
>>28660375What "gasses"?
>>28660563This, if your ceramic pads are gassing out, you don't need a rotor upgrade, you need to calm the fuck down on the touge because the brakes are likely becoming ineffective, you need to run those loud ass metallic brake pads that actually work at high temperatures, Ceramics are very good but they perform best when being used for commutershit like driving on cold brakes.
>>28660467I do know a guy who did that irl too. But it was because he overloaded his work van with bricks and was speeding down one of the bigger hills in town.Dude had no thought in his head about things
>>28660621Kek gotta be engine braking down hills in vehicles, especially with a load, that's why they put tow/buttons in trucks, is to engine brake it, normally automatic transmissions wanna be in the highest gear, especially if you take your foot of the gas, which is basically like driving off the edge of a cliff when going downhill without engine braking, you will not be able to stop.
