Advantages of DBA Longlife Slotted Rotors:
- Unidirectional slotting (left and right), to increase pad bite, reduce fade and deliver exceptional braking performance.
- Slots continually de-glaze the brake pads, improving efficiency and reducing rotor scoring. They even out-wear across the brake pad faces, increasing the effective contact area and extending rotor life.
- Slots help dissipate water when driving in poor weather, as well as pump away dust and dirt.
- Slotting also combats "out-gassing", where gas (from the pad bonding agents) can form a cushion between pad and rotor, greatly reducing braking power.
- Provide a cost effective solution to improve the stopping performance of vehicles which are "under-braked" (such as many large four-wheel drives).
Advantages of DBA Longlife Gold XD Slot Rotors:
- Drill holes reduce mass, lower brake temperatures and help battle out-gassing.
- Special slots, (which are non-directional and designed to work in combination with the cross-drilling) help dissipate water, dirt and dust and further combat out-gassing.
- Slots de-glaze the pads, ensuring improved contact between pad and rotor.
- In combination, the cross-drilling and slotting processes give more stopping power and less fade during repeated heavy brake applications.
