There are quite a number of articles on the web regarding the heat
properties of quality cross-drilled (or slotted) rotors. Yes, heat is a
big issue...but pads alone don't dissipate heat. It's the rotors as
well.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not going to talk anybody out of buying slotted
rotors, I'm just saying, you'll get more out of better pads or larger
swept
area, the latter of course being WAY more expensive. Anyway, to
continue
the search for information...does anyone have any thermal testing data
that
actually SHOWS the heat dissapation of slotted vs drilled vs standard?
It would seem to me that there would be very little airflow THROUGH
those
holes. I always assumed the point was more to keep the pads from
glazing by
adding a little abrasiveness to the rotor.
