Hey Everyone,

So I'm in the market for new rotors in the rear (don't ask why lol ) and looking to get suggestions on what to purchase. I have the www.brakeperformance.com slotted and dimpled rotors with ceramics on the fronts and love them but do I really need the slotted and dimpled in the back? So my question is should I get the same or just go with slotted?

Thanks

 

Anybody??

 

I would just go with slotted.

 

Thanks for the response! I was kinda hoping for more feedback rear rotos are not mentions often lol

 

go big or go home. id definitely go for the slotted and dimpled on the rear.

 

better cooling = better braking power
i say go all out

 

I wouldn't allow myself to have mismatched rotor styles. So I'm voting for slotted & dimpled.

 

hmm seems like there is defiantly a pull towards slotted and dimpled like the fronts

Another question for you guys ... the ceramics that i paid extra for in the front dusted just about as much as the stockers anybody else have this happen to them??

 

From what I have read and studied, the dimples do not help with heat and cleaning near as much as slotted and drilled rotors. However many cheaper drilled rotors do not hold up and are subject to stress cracks and other damage, so dimples were the alternative. The slots alone allow gasses to escape and allow your pads to be cleaned keeping an optimal surface, the dimples do very little contributing to this (if any at all). I said slotted only, because I do not think there is much gain from the dimples, if they are the same price sure get the dimples for piece of mine or for stated cosmetic reasons. If it saves some money getting only slotted, I think that is the better call.

 

Drilled rotors are for expelling extreme heat in racing applications and are very hard on pads. They are a bit overkill for normal driving. Slotted are not quit as hard on pads but just plain rotors are more than adequate for most driving situations. Also, some have had dusting problems with ceramic. My plain rotors with Wagner TermoQuiets have virually no dust and last 100,000 miles.

 

You are correct, just keep in mind the OP is talking about dimpled rotors not drilled rotors, my argument is there is little to no gain from the dimples.

Either go with flat "plain" rotors or the slotted rotors, no need for the dimples.

 

I guess I'm going to go for just slotted because I gotta crunch the money a little bit lol so the 50 bucks ill save i will put towards the wagner pads

 

Sounds like a smart move!

 

Where do you guys pick up the wagner pads? I don't think autozone carries them. And im going to go with the ceramics

Just recently I saved $35 on an $85 purchase of Silverstar Ultras by doing it this way.
