Brakes are also an investment. If you pay for quality, you should have fewer problems in the long run.

Slotted rotors have slots that are etched into what is normally the flat surface of the brake. This enables gas, heat, and water to move away from the breaking rotor's surface. These exact substances are what will wear your brakes down quicker and minimize their efficiency. By making sure fluids and other substances stay away from your brakes, you are ensuring a higher level of efficiency and brake life. Slotted rotors are great for quick and efficient braking.

This type of rotor will last due to keeping fluids and other substances away from your brakes. Although this is an advantage, they are not as strong as some chunkier styles.

It is true that you may notice that they crack quicker than other rotors.
