It also doesn't help significantly enough to make it worth losing the rotor strength. If you get a good quality set like brembo's, the vented rotors should cool enough. Most manufacturer's of drilled/slotted rotors have a disclaimer for using them on the track, being they have a chance of breaking.
also from what i hear, most pads these days so not create as much gas as they used to back in the days.

from what I understand, the only pads that have a problem with gases being created are ones with organic material in them.

you may be right. i dunno. its just what i've heard.

I heard in racing applications, they use more slotted than cross drilled rotors. I think it cools better.

i believe, they use slotted rotors because they are much less prone to warping and cracking under high temps than cross drilled.

It brakes very well :D

i just installed slotted rotors with axis pads...my trip home(25 miles) was my break in...or so i thought. i got home and mine brakes were smoking like crazy.

its been about 5 days now and im about were you are at. un-even wearing, only at the very middle of the rotor though. i have noticed it is going away little by little

the stopping power is incredible!!!

JDMxDrift 07-16-2005 12:14 PM

Yeah. mine is at the outside of the rotor, but its working its way back in. How much were your axis pads? Are they spitting dust like crazy?

2fast4y0u 07-16-2005 03:01 PM

yeah..idont know how much they cost because my mechanic hooks me up huge... i told him i wanted just oem replacement pads and rotors because i am looking at a big brake upgrade but cant afford it right now....so, i told him to order just plain and simple stuff and he got my stop tech slotted rotors with the axis pads. i think i paid a total of $50 dollars for everything.

and yes, the dust is crazy, but its a performance pad so what can ya do.
