Slotted rotors

[craigvk]

If I was to get new rotors, what would I choose for my V8 VK? Standard, slotted or slotted/drilled? What would be the benefits of the three?

 

[SL/ENUT]

They say the crossed drilled rotors are prone to crack. Me personally i would get slotted rotors.

slotted are the way to go, for the VK V8, use DBA DIB015...

yeah i would go for the slotted too, the cracking you would probably only see in a race application, but the fact the slotted rotors are rated for racing and the drilled ones arn't is good enough reason ... when i ordered the above pictured rotors there was a 2 month wait for slotted or slotted and drilled were available for no extra cost, so i figured why not!

I suggest you buy Slotted, I cracked my first set of rotors which were cross drilled, I them picked up my HDT V8 slotted rotors and calipers (Up for sale by the way), now im running VZ Monaro brakes. I eventually will get slotted rotors if I require it again.

hey scott, the only difference to the monaro brakes is the rears are vented yeah ?

i went to the hsv web site and had a look at some of photos of their brake setups and they have the brake rotor going against the pad you can see this by the way the hsv caliper is sitting and by the way the hsv is stamped onto the caliper hope this helps mate

Yeah plus each side of the rotor is a hell of alot thicker as well. Im currently considering adapting a twinspot setup to the rear if i go to 343mm fronts I have access to a pair of 6 spot calipers. Im going to wait till i get the car on the road and see how it stops
