Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 10m 6d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 19/04/12 11:06 AM Share Posted 19/04/12 11:06 AM Certainly a slotted rotor is better due to the slot being able to wipe the face of the pad and also expel hot gases from between the pad and rotor. But I doubt you'd notice a difference in performance changing the rear rotors to slotted from plain. Most people probably have slotted rears due to looks and matching the front.Benny.

I was planning to do them on the front but dont know if doing the rear is really worth another $180the rears aren't even ventilated.. just solid disk.
