    I have the drilled rotors in the front on my wk. I've been offroad with them several times but have not had an issue with debris getting in the holes on the rotors. But i stay outta the mud at all costs.

    The only issue I've had is a rock getting caught between the rotor and the backing plate and it squels to high heavens. But it did that with my stock rotors too.

    Coming from the street scene, 240sx's and M3's, most of the time slotted is the choice and they stay away from both cause as Matt said most of the time its just marketing and appearance people go for them.. Most applications slotted give the best performance. I never considered what would happen when wheeling but I always clean the s**t out of the suspension and around the wheels anyway, Im actually looking into the Stillen front/rear set-up as they've gotten great reviews and have option for zinc coating to stop rusting..

    after close to a year on them I have next to none brake dust.

    I feel they are a lot better over stock, I love them. I offroad mine a lot & very happy on how they work. I went with dimpled verse drilled because I have seen cracks develop around the drilled holes, where with the dimpled not as much material is taken away.


    Also you will only get the squealing for the first 100 miles while they break in completely & then the squealing stopped (for me at least)

    I heard a lot about drilled rotors cracking, thats why i went with the dimpled and slotted. Then again, I dont offroad my jeep, so I dont have a problem with that. Yeah, I had squeaking in my brakes for about the first 50 miles, but now they are smooth and noiseless. I agree with the improved stopping power over stock though!!

    Figured id take advantage of my Friday off this week and do my brakes. Ordered centric rotors and akebono pads for a total of $324 shipped (thats both front & rear). I priced up the EBC slotted w/EBC pads.. it was over twice as much.. id rather put that money into other mods.
