nothing wrong with bumping a good informative thread, it's not like the information is out dated

I'm glad it got bumped

People need to be reminded

Blanks are cheaper and better.

I wouldn't have bumped it if it didn't contain some very good information. People should know this.

Good info but some F1 cars do have slotted rotors...even though topic poster said no F1 teams used slotted rotors?

I know this is an old thread but I bought slotted rotors for the front and they work great so far. I bought some for the rear too and they are drilled and slotted rotors. Do you think they will be alright since it is the back set?

Well you wasted a little money...and your brakes won't work quite as well as they would with a good set of pads on blank rotors with good fluid. But you're not in any danger as I'm assuming this car is just a street car.
