Sure. Feel free.Originally Posted by az3579
Ah, the very thing I avoid doing at all costs coming off a track session. Didn't realize that had a name. lol
Thanks.
Might I add that they are semi-floating and cast drilled, not cross drilled.

Unless you guys are tracking your cars, and obviously some of you definitely are, slotted, drilled, or S&D rotors are pure street bling. I'm fully aware of that and have blinged every one of our "street only" cars. For non-track addicts, any of the non-blank rotors will help your harder ceramic pads on initial bite, however they are terrible on dissipating heat if you're into heavy braking events.

Blanks are hands-down the best rotors to buy for street-only driven cars.
Bruce,
They're actually not terrible on the track. I'd bet you that if I put a set of blanks of my car with my Hawk HP+ pads, I wouldn't get fade.

If I could get blank rotors, I would.
My rotors have turned blue before. If you guys know what that means, that means I'm overheating the rotors. They don't "dissipate" heat like people think.

BP,
The ceramic pads for low dust need S, D, or S&D rotors for initial bite to perform as well as OEM, they don't appear to grab as well on blank rotors. What I meant was these ceramic pads will fade quickly with heavy use, not the solid blank rotors. I've read a lot on the benefits of each of the different rotors but since we don't track our cars, the rotors on the cars at my house are purely to help those low dust ceramic pads get their initial bite and then there's the bling effect which we like.

I went with cross drilled, but it's my daily driver of only 8K miles/year and I don't track. Really like the way drilled looks over slotted.
