planning to upgrade my brake rotor to slotted + drilled.
mainly city drive, normally drive fast but not aggressive, soft on pedals and brakes.

been through online researched and here's what i know about slotted+drilled rotors:
1) brake pads wear faster. (but how fast? my cousin motorcycle 200cc is slotted rotor, 40k city driving brake pad still have around 30%)
2) drilled rotor will crack eventually if rotor too hot but doesn't affect much for city driving. (not really a concern for me, rarely hard braking)
3) braking is much more quiet. (is this true?)

appreciate all for the time and effort on replies !

Why not just upgrade your brake pads first?

Dont see any justification on upgrading to slot or drill rotors unless you just want Gaya

When you want to go higher performance, the most upgrade to slot rotors.

considering whether to upgrade the type and size of rotor, then only can pick the right size of pads and caliper.
if slotted / drilled rotor helps in braking distance, no harm in upgrading incase of emergency braking / minimizing accident damages.

Based on your usage, no reason why need use slotted or drilled rotor.

Only real advantage is it dissipate heat faster. Mostly related to racing, hard braking.

yea.. i admit i fell in the "car mods" hole.
but why not if it helps braking distance biggrin.gif

for cosmetic wise any will do, for better braking, a good brake pad + steelbraided brakehose.
i changed my brake pads and hose, the effect is superb.
