If you go out to the track, tow a trailer, or frequently go over mountain passes then you'll benefit from slotted or drilled rotors. > Is it worthwhile changing the rotors? > See above, also if your rotors are warped or worn past their limit and you have to change them anyway, you may find the cost difference is not huge so it may be worth it if only for the cool factor. > And, oh yes, I was told that just changing the front rotors is about 65 > % of the effect. > Slotted or drilled rear rotors are not common, if you make the switch, the fronts are the only ones worth worrying about, I'd say that 65% is a bit low, more like 80+% of the work is done by the front brakes. > May I have your best opinions please? > > Thank you, > > Malcolm
