[Shotimes] WTB rotors for brake upgrade

[Ron Porter]

"Technically Lighter""?? Well, yeah, and so is non-metallic paint....oh, and take your "daily constitutional" before driving the car, that drops weight, also!!
 
It's already been proven that slotted rotors are far better for releasing pad gas that holes, and pad gas is not even as much of an issue with modern pads and/or outgassing techniques.
 
Rotor holes can be put in the category of undercar neon and chrome exhaust tips....all show, no go.

cross drilled rotors are technically lighter and
should theoretically cool more evenly. However, when
pushed to their limits, they will need to be replaced
often. For a race car and a fully budgeted race team,
this may not make too much of a difference. For the
average person and even the most die hard track
enthusiasts, it doesn't seem too practical. My 2
cents.
