Did you have the 6 pistons on during LV?



Also, surely that cant be 18's with a 15.25 rotor right?
I saw the 6 pistons the z06 was running and its almost touching.. has to be less than 6 inches of room

I did have this package on the car in Vegas. It works very well with a win in Speed Stop!

Kind regards,

Not Jordan, but I'll answer.

No. Slotted/grooved/drilled rotors offer no performance benefit at all. At least, not until you gut your interior, put in a cage, buy $10k shocks, put on race slicks, and hire a pro-driver.

DRILLED VS SLOTTED ROTORS
For many years most racing rotors were drilled. There were two reasons - the holes gave the "fireband" boundary layer of gasses and particulate matter someplace to go and the edges of the holes gave the pad a better "bite".

Unfortunately the drilled holes also reduced the thermal capacity of the discs and served as very effective "stress raisers" significantly decreasing disc life. Improvements in friction materials have pretty much made the drilled rotor a thing of the past in racing. Most racing rotors currently feature a series of tangential slots or channels that serve the same purpose without the attendant disadvantages.
Drilled are a no-no pretty much everywhere these days. Too prone to cracking. Also, the reduce the surface area of the rotor, which means less overall braking performance.

As for slotting - IF you are OK with swapping brakes rotors more often, and IF you have already removed all non-race portions of your brake system (stock master cylinder, ABS module, rubber lines, etc.), and IF you believe you can tell a meaningful difference between a 3 millisecond initial bite and a 5 millisecond initial bite, and IF you make consistent enough laps to where these milliseconds will eventually add up to seconds . . . then it MAY make sense to go with premium slotted rotors (like the ones that cost $500 per rotor).

If not, then stick with regular iron rotors.

I'm guessing you don't have a rubbing issue with those 315's on the back? That's a kickass brake set up you've come up with. Those are massive rotors. I'll be waiting for the package price too.

I have no rubbing issues with the 315's or 335's I've been running on 18" wheels. We have completed development on the package and I just need to finalize pricing.

I apologize this has taken us so long. We'll get pricing put together by the end of this week and get it on the website. I appreciate the support and have a great day!

Kind regards,
