Hi guys,

I have an ‘01 XJR and I saw the other day that my rear brake pads should be replaced soon so now I kinda want drilled & slotted rotors.

Does anyone have any suggestions on drilled and slotted rotors. I found a few brands that looked nice but I wasn’t sure if there were any better options out there that I might’ve been missing.

Thanks

 

get the cheapest blanks you can find with the best pads. if you need more performance get the r1 equipment

 

I have used Brake labs on ebay for my cars cross drilled slotted rotors with ceramic pads .Quality rotors hardened great stopping power no more brake dust cannot beat there price

 

I've run Brembo branded front rotors with Akebono ceramic pads (both off Rockauto) and been very happy, and the rotors aren't too expensive. When I decided to replace them due to a stuck caliper roasting one side after ~40k mi (granted mostly highway driving...) the rotors had almost no measureable wear compared to new. Pads are low dusting too. Think I'll do the same for the rear when I need to replace them. Only thing I've noticed is that during extended rainy highway driving it sometimes takes a moment for the brakes to "clear" the water off the rotors before they grab, can be a bit unnerving.

Drilled rotors don't do anything for performance, and can add to the possibility of rotor warp from temperature gradients around the drills. Slotted can improve some things a bit at the cost of NVH and pad wear. otherwise xalty is right, go with the R1 kit if you have the want to do so.
