Default OK to remove brake rotor bolts?

i want to remove the 2 phillips bolts that hold the brake rotors onto the hub and keep them off. they always get in the way and are a bitch to remove.

is there anything wrong with not keeping them on?

i figure that when the wheel bolts up it should hold it nice and snug anyways.

Ditch the screws if you replace your rotors often. Like you said the wheel keeps it securely on there.

Lots of racers don't have the screws on their car. If you insist of having them, keep them barely hand tight so you don't need an impact driver to take them off next time.

Looks like you race your car alot... or go through a set of rotors very often.

Haven't had em in years. If you insist on keeping them, just use antiseize.
