no, they just make the rotor not last as long.

If you just drive your car normally every day it doesn't really matter what kind of rotors you get or where you get them. Doesn't matter much on the pads either. Just remember you get what you pay for. But if you want some performance stuff, you dont need to waste your money on the drilled or slotted, just get some Brembo or Hawk rotors and pads. Heard it works really well.

It's not really that its No good... just I dont think they're quite what the companies make them out to be. They just cut holes in the rotors that reduce the amount of braking area that supposedly reduce heat but it doesn't matter that much if you're still loosing space to grab. You're best off just buying good quality parts from good quality companies. AKA Brembo, Hawk... etc. lol

They all seem more expensive than blank brembos and won't last as long. by some blank brembos from tirerack and a pair of Hawk HPS brake pads and you'll love your brakes
