Do drilled and slotted rotors work better?
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
Are slotted or solid rotors better?
Drilled or slotted rotors are great for performance cars. If you have a performance car, avoid solid rotors. Solid rotors won’t maximize your car’s braking performance. Instead, get drilled rotors, slotted rotors, or both drilled and slotted rotors.
Are aftermarket rotors worth it?
Aftermarket rotors may appear like a great option because they’re pretty cheap upfront, but they’re likely going to cause you a lot of trouble down the road. OEM rotors, on the other hand, cost slightly more because they’re better built and with better quality materials.
How long do OEM rotors last?
Your rotors are one of the most durable parts of your car, but the above factors can shorten their lifespan. Expect your rotors to last anywhere from 30,000-70,000 miles depending on the above factors.
Is there a difference in the quality of rotors?
There are significant differences in rotor quality in today’s auto parts aftermarket. Many drivers simply believe if the rotor fits on their vehicle, then it is a good rotor. They put the rotor’s performance on the secondary, spending more time considering about price than they did about quality while shopping.
Do you need OEM rotors?
If an aftermarket rotor is too hard for OEM brake pads, the pads will get worn down fast and they won’t be able to grip the rotor as well. You need a rotor that will work optimally with OEM brake pad materials, and OEM rotors fit the bill.
How long can you go without replacing rotors?
As a general rule, you should get your brake pads replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 miles to keep wear to a minimum. When it comes to your rotors, you have a bit longer. Your rotors should be replaced between 50,000 and 70,000 miles to keep your brakes in peak health.
Does it matter what kind of rotors you buy?
You need to buy the right kind for your vehicle so the rotors can withstand the generated heat and provide powerful braking performance when you need it.
How do you tell if my rotors need replacing?
It could represent four signs that it’s time to replace your brake rotors.

- Intermittent Screeching.
- Blue Coloration.
- Excessive Wear Over Time.
Can I just replace rotors and not pads?
It is true that when you replace just the rotors and keep the old brake pads, you save money and time. Even if you can get by with just replacing the rotors, you may want to replace the brake pads at the same time–even if they do not strictly need it.
How do you check rotors without removing wheels?
If you have an open-spoke wheel design, you can run your finger vertically down the brake rotor friction surface. If you can feel and see noticeable grooves, then it’s time for new brake rotors. For cars with hub caps that don’t expose the rotor, you will need to remove your wheel to inspect your brake rotors.
What happens if you don’t replace rotors?
If you don’t replace the rotors when needed, you risk brake failure and an accident. The rotor absorbs and dissipates heat when the brakes are applied. The thinner the rotor becomes, the more heat is absorbed. This excess heat warps the rotor.
Why do they not turn rotors anymore?
Turning a “good” rotor makes it thinner and reduces its ability to absorb and dissipate heat. By turning this good rotor yo may cause warp in the near future when simply replacing the rotor assures you this problem will not occur.
How much should it cost to replace rotors?
Rotors cost between $30 and $75 each. Labor to replace rotors and pads is around $150 to $200 per axle. Brake pads and rotors come out to around $250 to $500 per axle.
Do you have to replace all 4 rotors at once?
You do not need to replace all 4 rotors at the same time, but it is recommended to replace the rotors and pads as a set for each axle front or back at the same time. If the front brakes need to be replaced but the rear brakes are not worn out yet, then you do not need to replace the rear brakes.
Do Autozone rotors come in pairs?
A: No, rotors do not come in pairs only pads or shoes.
