While slotted rotors may look cool, the real advantage of slotted rotors is an increase in braking power, in many cases up to 15-20 percent. Often slotted rotors have a higher resistance to brake judder, an increased cooling affect and a higher operating friction level. Sounds great right?

Unfortunately, all this magic comes with a price. Slotted rotors are more expensive to build due to the precision machining required which translates to a higher price tag. Also, slotted rotors have a tendency to be noisier during braking and will often wear through brake pads at a faster pace than solid faced rotors.

In an effort to eliminate the negatives and accentuate the positives of slotted rotors, DBA offers our new T3 slot design that addresses a few of these problems. The T3 slot design has a gradual overlapping curved design that is significantly quieter than straight slots virtually eliminating their inherent whirring noise during braking. The T3 slot shape also reduces the excessive brake wear by keeping the pad in constant contact with the rotor face, rather than allowing the slot to ‘cut’ material from the pad with each passing slot. While we’ve managed to eliminate some of the downside of slotted rotors, with the DBA T3 slotted rotors, you still get the good stuff like increased braking power, added cooling and a reasonable price.
