Default Re: Brakes Bigger rotors or just slotted and or cross drilled?

If you are fortunate enough to have rotors that are not warping and
you are just having to do brake jobs every 40K or so, I would run out
the service life on the rotors you have. This turning might do that.

I got, as an option, a towing package on a Chrysler T&C I have that
included larger diameter rotors. I have not gotten greater pad life,
and in fact the rotors warp out about every 25K. first set turned
once then replaced, second set needs to be turned now. I don't have
experience with slotted and cross drilled other than knowing they are
fairly expensive and it seems people who get them upgrade to ceramic
pads. Makes a brake job cost a bunch.
