The last time I was on this site I read a post talking about the benefit or lack there of slotted and cross drilled rotors. On that post brakemasters argument was partially based on the theory that a brake system stops the car by converting kinetic energy into heat energy and that stuck with me until I sorted it out. Doesn't a brake system work by slowing breaking down the outermost compund of the pad, thus causing pad wear? It spends the kinetic energy of the moving vehicled to bread down the compund. So instead of kinetic to heat, It's kinetic to chemical. The heat is a by-product of friction caused in that process. That heat is the killer. The main problem a brake system can encounter is brake fade, which is caused by fluid boiling in the lines. remove the heat and you have fluid that doesn't heat as much. I've got to say I come to the same verdict though. The only really good bet are vented rotors.

I'm not trying to shoot down brakemaster or anything I'm just trying to see if I can understand this whole thing better.
