Drilled, Slotted & Vented Brake Rotors – What's Best?
When replacing your brake rotors, you may opt to upgrade to drilled, slotted, or vented rotors. Which brake rotor is best? What brake rotors will perform better? What are the best options for performance brakes? Ultimately, vented disc are great for heat rejection. Slotted rotors can aid in moving debris away from the rotor, and potentially adding a biting surface for the pad to contact. Drilled rotors aren’t used in professional racing due to the stress failures they tend to have.

Thank you for the education !! For a youngster you were clear, concise, and to the point. You know what you’re talking about unlike others who leave us clueless (wondering) !!!
Wow I forgot how much he was a child then
I decided after watching this and hearing his distain for drilled rotors to check out what Porsche uses. The road legal 911 GT3 uses drilled from the factory-a car that is designed for hot laps and track days. The 911 GT3 race car uses slotted. The new 2026 911 Turbo S also uses drilled. I think improper drilling technique and rotor quality plays a large factor in stress cracks. I don’t thing Porsche would use it on their fastest road cars if it was not up to the task of hot laps and track days.
What about for off roaders when we are going through water. How does drilled rotors perform under water?
hey its young Jason
