Rear Brake Discs: What are the pros & cons of solid, slotted, drilled & vented
auf_wiedersehen_pet:
My Disco has been serviced today and my mechanic has told me I need new discs/pads. When I drove his loan Disco I noticed how sharp his brakes were compared to mine.
What are the pros & cons of solid, slotted, drilled & vented? There are lots on the internet and the prices don't vary too much.
boss:
the only con i see is cost
the slotted ones lasted longer on the TD5 than the landrover ones.
also much better braking(obviousley :roll:) but more than compensates for the big tyres
but like i say, you need new disks and callipers and it can get quite costley
GreedyGibson:
the slotted and drilled discs aid for better cooling so for road use and heavy braking are better but if you are going to use it off road the holes will fill up with mud anyway.
auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Do I need different calipers for the wider vented discs?
davidlandy:
i beleive that the standard caliper is used but has a spacer included in it.
