Do i have to post the pics of mine again?
The design of the slotted or drilled is to let the gas escape from between the pad and the rotor.
Do most people here need to worry about that....NO
If you are getting your brakes hot enough to start boiling the gases from the pads.....you are using the wrong pads. Buy real brake pads (not the special sale they had at Advanced auto, etc) Use real high grade brake fluid, COMPLETELY flush your system. I used drilled for a while, (with no noticable results other than they looked cool) After i started getting faster......i cracked them. I now run STOCK blank rotors w/ cheap home-made cooling ducts. MOST of the people you see at the track are using blanks/solids.
As far as i know of.....PhookaGt is one of the fastest track guys on here. I beleive he is running STOCK mustang brakes....and a mustang is a heavy car that is gonna generate alot of heat braking. He hasn't mentioned any braking probs to me.
My advice.... good fluid, good pads,maybe SS hoses.....and spend your money on something else.
Finally a voice of reason.
