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 !
If you are just driving a normal sedan with no intention for spirited driving, slotted or drilled brake rotors is of no use to you. You have stated your drive would mainly be around the city @ stop and go, I really dont see a need for slotted or drilled disc rotors. Brake pads will even wear faster with these ''performance" rotor sets. The squeal from braking is usually caused by the dust your brake pad makes. So this will depend on the material used on your brake pads. mainly city drive, normally drive fast but not aggressive, soft on pedals and brakes.

Unless you need better stopping power due to an upgraded/ uprated engine which equates to higher horsepower on your car, I would suggest you use back your standard brakes but maybe upgrade to a better brake pad for a little bit better braking.
