Light weight 2 piece rotor f/r

[SilverBolt]

name brand slotted/drilled rotors havent had cracking issues for year, thats a very old theory.

I have several sets of Brembo rings that say otherwise.

Ill be the gunia pig. the brakes on the Gen2 are lacking to say the least.

Granted disks alone will not solve this problem. But the weight savings cant be ignored.

I will opt to have them only slotted, not cross drilled.

Just an FYI.

These are open slot. not cross drilled.

Disc Surface Finish - RacingBrake.com

Its an open slot, the slot exposes the top portion of the vanes in the rotors. So there is no drilling of any kind to the rotor.

Seems like it would be more susceptible to warping.

That is what it says, but they are also the manufacturer. I don't see how it allows any more expansion and contraction than a convectional drilled and slotted rotor. Considering it is essentially a drilled and slotted rotor with the holes drilled in the slots, seems like the thinner are around the drilled holes might be a weak spot.

There are no drilled holes....
the slots are cut into the internal vanes

To "cut" the holes into the slots, they are manipulated after casting ie just like drilled rotors

Slotted only is still the structurally strongest option behind a solid rotor

And in your mind a square block of material
Is stronger than a hollow bar too huh?

Look, I get it you want to be Captain of the rotor group buy

That's fine, but get educated and don't be an ******* about it

I've QFT your original post since you lost credibility right there

Ask RB how those "cut" holes get into the slots

To your question, yes a solid 3" cube of steel is stronger than the same 3" cube hollowed out - is this really a question
