Do slotted rotors have much advantage over normal rotors?

For the street - i doubt it.

on my vn v8, went from standard to cross drilled and slotted,,,,,i do not know how they stopped a vn from factory standards,...... mine have made so much difference. They dont glaze up under heavy braking, i feel so much safer

yeah guys just on this topic, im thinking of puttind dba rotors in my vs, how ever if i do this im also thinking of getting VT calipers. any ideas/thoughts would be great and also what about the back???

cheers

if you want to go down the route of a VT twin spot conversion then don't get slotted rotors to suit the VS as the VT uses a different size rotor. have a look around ebay, there are normally a few VT kits on there or try hopper stoppers

just go to your local bursons, auto barn or super cheap and get them to match up dba slotteds to your vehicle, iv got them on my vyss, have noticed a difference especially when braking hard, i put bendix ultimates in and they chewed the disc out quick, then machined them, and put the bendix gt's in and there heaps better on the slotted rotors, not as harsh and still stop just as gwd.

i had bought some slotted ones of ebay to put on at my next service as i needed new discs and wow.. even the ebey ones where great, new pads and you could instantly tell the difference.

As for slotted at the back, its mainly a wank cus most of the braking is done up front. they look good but i doubt you'll notice any difference.

apparently they cannot be machined, which would be their only downfall.
so i would use good brake pads to keep them wearing evenly.

Slotted rotors don't suffer the same heat issues as the stock ones, so in theory, they shouldn't ever need machining.

Would there be any difference in brake dust? Or would that have more to do with the pads themselves?

 

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

If the pads were dusty anyway, it would build up faster.

I have a Vx, i swapped the stock rotors for x-drilled and slotted items + Bendix ultimate pads and it made a MASSIVE difference, i recomend it to everyone!
