    Default VP Brake Rotors - Slotted or Not?

    Hey I need new front disks for my vp and am wondering if anyone has gone for slotted disks and wether it was worth it? Standard disks are $56 each and slotted disks are $112 each for DBA.

    All help much appreciated

    depends on how you drive (or abuse the brakes) if your a kind driver who doesn't abuse brakes and it's for everyday driving only then the standard rotors are fine. if you "use" you brakes heavily then the slotted rotors are definitly the better option

    slotted rotors will decrease your pad life as they are being consistantly wiped and the idea of the slot is to allow gas to escape when the pad heats up which gives you a spongey pedal feel if you didn't have them
