Firstly rotors are made to various engineering standards and measurements for strength, tolerances, heat, etc and will easily handle anything you. And do with your car. Particularly when made by reputable companies and Second, pretty much any serious aftermarket rotor is slotted/drilled etc for a good reason... to help manage heat. Plus it just looks cool. I really hate comments like this. Again please read in the spirit in which I mean it... I.e. don’t type stuff that just simply isn’t true.

Drilled in mostly for aesthetics only. Yes, OEMs have them. Yes, they die quickly. Yes, all track rats that don't go BBK with 2 pc. rotors go to NAPA and pick up vented blanks. He may have meant solid vs. vented rotors. In that consideration, yes, get vented. Also, yes, companies like AP Racing will provide a solution that has some form of grooving for track based rotors and pads. However, if you aren't going to the track and aren't burnishing your brakes, I don't think that is warranted. Plenty of low budget racers do well on vented, blank rotors. Having a nice 2pc to get heat away from the hub or bearing would be the real next step or problem to solve. Sample Reason Cross Drilled is not typically used: Quote:

All aftermarket brake manufacturers offer drilled rotors aswell mostly for one reason imho. - Because customers buy them.
Very same customers that watched fast & furious & played need for speed too much, those that choose, i kid you not, brakes just to have painted calipers and/or known brake caliper branding on them, those that are ready to retrofit brakes that are known to make braking worse and less reliable for branding sake only, because it's cheaper then "native kits". Ones, that choose coilovers by their paint color. Demand drives offer, ya know? Luckily very few of those customers actually take those cars with shiny uber BBKs on track, as such brake kits are bought for filling empty space in very big diameter wheels with some bling, not to solve some performance issue, and for just daily driving with light braking drilled rotors can serve too. As for from those, that actually track, i often seen advise to get blanks or slotted, not drilled, for reliability reasons. Track is last place where one should try to compromise reliability of brakes for whichever reasons. Rather place where extra reliability won't hurt due much higher abuse. |

Well the McLaren P1 doesn't need drilled rotors but my stock BRZ does.
(Sarcasm. Drilled rotors are for bling and stance boys who want to pretend they have a racecar.)

But you get the point. I’m not debating tracking vs road or slotted vs drilled. I’m simply saying that for any quality after market kit a blank vs slotted reliability argument is nonsense.

Hmm. it was blank or slotted vs drilled, not blank vs slotted. Please be a bit more attentious reading others' posts. Imho slotting doesn't compromise reliability as much as drilling, and some may wish impact on brake modulation from those.
If you don't believe anything that is said here in forum .. how about statements by brembo? Check pros/cons for different types, and then think for yourself, if pros/cons of drilled disk fits well HPDE/track use, even more so that many that are buying BBK with track use in mind, do so 1) to enable longer sessions or enable bleeding off faster speeds due forced induction by offering more heat capacity, 2) to save on wearables. Arguably drilled might fit auto-X, no? In sense like cheater tires RE71 fit. But if car will be dual-used for DD aswell .. i'm not sure i'd wish for much increased wear. Yeah, i know, i'm cheap. |

Any idea if stock MY12-16 OEM wheels will clear the brembos in the rear? Looking for cheap drift spares.

Yet plenty of OEMs offer drilled brake discs.. Porsche offers them on the GT3 RS, Ferrari on the 488 GTB, so on and so forth... So maybe this can be an issue with poorly designed/manufactured discs but I'm having a hard time believing it's as prolific an issue as you claim... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Plenty of OEMs .. that are narrow niche upmarket supercar makers. All cars made by them make tiny-tiny fraction from all the "normal cars" millions out there, they charge for their low-volume cars (and OEM parts of those) so much that they can afford use much higher quality materials/part sources and so on, and don't let car review tv programs fool you with wrong impression, supercars rarely get actually used on track, more for posing to show off owner's status & wealth, but there, for daily driving non-track abuse those disks are safe enough to use.
These mentioned "plenty of oems" make great case of 'exception that proves the rule', hence i don't get how that can be applied to our budget cars. Reminds me of one poster on this forum, that with all seriousness argued about his setup/tuning choices, reasoning with "they do this way on F1". |
