[QUOTE="Blue Blitz, post: 8710109, member: 71949"] Correct on the "weight reduction" of drilled. Unfortunately this comes at the cost of stress concentration points for the rotor to crack when heating/cooling. Less mass in the rotor means it heats and cools faster. Degassing with slots is a myth that most brake companies like to throw out there because it sounds good. Slots ARE beneficial but as said primarily for the track. What they DO is scrape the pad to remove pad deposits ensuring that your brake contact area is free of debris. Larger brakes can help as well, increased contact patch is part of it but it's also related to the "brake torque" you get from a larger diameter rotor. Like putting a cheater bar on a wrench, if you move the contact of the pad further away from the center you only increase the torque even when keeping the contact patch the same size.
